Hyacinths and Primroses Flourish in a Garden Journal
The writer describes spring garden work including Hyacinth bedding from second size bulbs, Dutch bulb supply, and plans if a greenhouse were possible. Primulas Pacific Giants from George W. Park Seed Co. thrive with Narcissi, Japanese Primroses, and Lungwort spreading since a long cultivation. Spring action continues with roses, Command Performance, and onion plantings while noting losses from winter and savaged shrubs.
