Your local dealer has color pictures of 
many varieties of tulips, hyacinths, 
daffodils and the interesting crocus, 
WW 0 0 muscari, chionodoxa, snowdrops, scilla and 
other Dutch bulbs. Use your imagination 
| and create your own garden arrange- 
p al ment. The following tips will help you: 
CONTINUOUS BLOOM 
By using various types of bulbs, your 
garden will have flowers in bloom 
from early March until June. Consult 
Planting Chart for the flowering time 
of various bulbs. 
TULIPS. Some tulips flower in 
April, others in May. Don’t 
mix them. Remember that dif- 
ferent types reach different 
heights. If you’re planting in 
a border, don’t try a single row 
but plant in clumps. A back- 
ground of a fence, evergreen 
trees or shrubbery can give in- 
teresting results. 
HYACINTHS. A group of five 
of one variety can be most 
interesting. 
Enticing scent and vivid col- 
ors combine for unforgettable 
effect when you plant bulbs in 
massed groups or solid beds. 
Try planting early-flowering 
tulips and late-flowering daf- 
fodils in combination with hy- 
acinths. 
DAFFODILS. Best in clumps 
or groups—not in rows. Keep 
each clump in same variety. 
Try small and medium cup 
flowers in addition to large 
trumpets. Small cup daffodils 
are excellent for rock gardens. 
Scatter bulbs at random around 
your favorite tree and plant 
them where they fall, for more 
natural effect. 
MINOR BULBS. These smaller 
bulbs will multiply in years 
to come, so plant them where 
they will not be disturbed. 
A rock garden finds these bulbs 
excellent tenants. 
Consult Chart for flowering 
times and match these bulbs 
with tulips and daffodils.
