HERALDS OF SPRING 
At an early date, while snows still fly, these little bulbs will burst into bloom, reminding us that Spring is near. 
They should be planted on arrival in the fall, 2 to 3 inches deep and 3 inches apart, in places where they can remain undisturbed for a 
number of years. | 
CHIONODOXA—GLORY OF THE SNOW. They bloom very cay along with the Crocus. Plant 3 inches deep in a sunny or half shaded 
position. Color light blue. 
IRIS RETICULATA—FRAGRANT IRIS. A very early miniature Haier Iris, equally at home in the rock garden or the sunny border. 
Will multiply and spread. Height about 6 to 8 inches; blooms about the same time as Dutch crocus. The flower is a very rich, almost 
dazzling violet-blue, with a bright golden segment surrounded by a black and white area, which gives it almost a tigerskin-like appear- 
ance. It has a sweet violet scent. | 
GRAPE HYACINTHS—MUSCARI. Charming, hardy spring-flowering bulbs. They are somewhat like the Hyacinth, but the clusters 
and the individual flowers are smaller and of delicate shape. Invaluable for naturalizing, especially with Narcissus. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA—WOOD HYACINTH. This interesting class blooms during early May. The bell-shaped flowers are carried 
on slender, graceful spikes. Plant 3 to 4 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Very effective for boarders and will thrive in 
shaded situations under trees. 
SNOWDROP—GALANTHUS. Everybody knows the Snowdrop, with its little white bells coming through the snow very early in the 
spring—practically the first flower to show itself after the dreariness of winter. It is a wonderful bulb for naturalizing and planting 
in every garden. Plant 2 to 3 inches deep and 1 inch apart. Can also be grown in pots or baskets.
