Excerpt from High Grade Bulbs and Seeds for Fall Planting, 1898 The growing of bulbs, other than the charms their flowers possess, has many ad vantages over that of any other class of flowering plants, among others, and a very great one, is that many of them produce their flowers in very early Spring, at a season when few other plants are in blossom. At this season, in a sheltered, sunny spot, a few clumps of Snow-drops, Crocus, Scillas, will present a mass of color, in graceful forms, while the snow yet lingers in shaded places; before these are gone the Hyacinths refresh us with their grateful fragrance these are soon followed by the Narcissus and Early Tulips, and all before vegetation is fairly started In rapid succession follow the gorgeous Parrot Tulips, Crown Imperials, and before these are gone the Lilies commence their long succession of bloom. Interspersed with these is a host of other bulbs, equally valuable for their flowers, but whose names are rarely mention ed.
