Bulbs ley; Vaturalizing 
It is not generally realized how many kinds of bulbs may be per- 
manently planted—to last for decades if properly set out, giving a 
yearly show of bloom. There are two kinds of bulbs—those which 
last 5 to 7 years (like tulips), and those which are permanent, send- 
ing up a flower every season from the same bulb for a lifetime. The 
second group is easily naturalized. It includes Narcissus, Scilla, 
Muscari, Crocus, even Hyacinths! 
Naturalizing Narcissus 
Narcissus are the showiest of the 
really satisfactory naturalizing bulbs. 
It might be said that the best place 
to plant these is not in the garden at 
all—but scattered among shrubbery, 
under fences and wherever a drift 
of April snow is desired. Not all 
kinds do equally well when natural- 
ized, and we have selected a special 
assortment for this purpose which we 
list below.
