BUY BULBS NOW FOR 111924 NEXT SPRING'S GARDEN PAGEANT > ^ i SI RI that \• uif k I y| spring days, for a ( 1925 garden will have a goodly number of Dutch bulbs to brighten up the early garden without Tulips, Da 11 odlis, I lyacintlis, Grociiscs, and the host of little bulbs like the Snowdrops and the Squills is really only half a garden. About the time the snow is leaving, and sometimes before, the beautiful, white, pendent flowers of the Snowdrops appear, to be shortly followed by yellow- and purple-flowered Crocuses, the Glory of the Snow, the Squills, and other small-flowered bulbous plants. Late in March, and for the next two months, the dazzling yellows of the Narcissi or Daffodils dispel the final traces of winter's gloom, for spring has surely come. This year you should enlarge your collection of Narcissi: Daffodils, Jonquils, etc.; next year and the year after you can add to it—but then your adding stops, for the Federal Horticultural Board has ruled that after 1925 no species of Narcissus may be imported. Late in April the bright reds and yellows of the Early Tulips unfold their glory, to be followed by the Late or May-flow-ering Tulips in equally bril- liant yellows and red, dainty pinks and chaste whites; and there are the Darwins, Breeders, Bybloems, Bizarres, and the Parrot Tulips with their fringed edges, all beautiful and all interesting. A wonderful array over which to enthuse. Why not make bulb culture your hobby? It's lots of fun, and as to expense, that is left to one's own judgment; it does not cost much. There are no better plants for home decoration than the Tulips, the Hyacinths, and the Narcissi or Daffodils. Grow them in abundance, so you can give them to your friend
