Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dutch Bulbs: How to Use Them to Beautify Your Home and Garden
Dutch Bulbs! Magic words, that picture glorious visions before the mind's eye, all over the World. They sound like music to anyone knowing Dutch bulbs, and no wonder. Ls there any flower that helps so intensely to chase away the gloom and dreary duskin the darkest months of the year, from our dwellings, from our very souls! How quite different our room looks in December, when winter's sadness gets wiped away by putting a pot of the scarlet tulip, Duc van Tholl in the window sill. It is just as if these bright-red children of nature bring into your home light and beneficial warmth, fore boding hopes and expectations.
And when the dark month of January is there; when wind and-snow and rain and sleet make life outdoors a misery, how delightful is it to see on the little table in your hall, or here and there in your drawing room pots of, hyacinths, with their delicate colours, their beautiful shapes, and their delicious scent.
