We take the sort of pride in our work which 
perhaps comes with experience and understand- 
ing, or perhaps the pleasure we derive from the 
association with kindred spirits prompts us to 
strive towards perfection. 
Daffodils may be used very effectively in the 
herbaceous border, where, planted in clumps of 
from 6 to 12 bulbs, in the foreground, they pro- 
duce the badly needed color in Spring, in com- 
bination with Botanical Tulips, Muscari Heavenly 
Blue, Scilla Sibirica Spring Beauty and Mertensia 
Virginica. 
Soft colored Hyacinths also make perfect 
companions, planted amongst Pachysandra or 
myrtle, in front of an evergreen planting. 
Hosta subcordata grandiflora with its fine 
white flowers in September, makes the ideal 
groundcover for Daffodils. 
The winter’s past; the clouds and tempests fly; 
The sun adorns the fields and brightens all the sky. 
—ALEXANDER POPE.
