---------- October 29, 1927 Explains Effective Planting of Bulbs | for Spring Blooms| By Rosa Rugosa The work attached to careful plan- ning of the planting of small bulbs in your garden will be doubly rewarded when you find the blossoms raising their heads in the early spring sun- shine. One does not need to be a connois- seur of bulbs or flowers of any kind as a matter of fact, in order to have an effective and colorful early spring garden. All that is necessary is a lit- tle thought in grouping bulbs. First, be sure to keep the dwarf or low grow ing ones in the foreground and sec ondly concentrate on grouping the rich dark colors with the lighter tones of | the same shade thereby creating a co- | lor scheme, which will be a delight to | the eye. Blue and yellow Crocus make lovely path borders, the white Crocus and the Snow-drop can be planted haphaz- ardly over a lawn area. Either the blue or yellows are best in mass ef- fects, if planted in a formal garden. For a rock garden there is nothing better than the Heavenly Blue Grape Hyacinths. Their dainty little bells greatly resemble the Lily of the Valley. Havoc has been played with the Nar- cissus owing to the recent quarantine, but many of the most desirable can still be obtained. These should be planted in clusters, along a garden path, around a pool or grouped among evergreens. The little star-like Scilla Squills are fine for cutting and the Campanulata varieties will grow well in shady places. It is well to plant these in solid masses. One of the early blooming little flow- ers is the Chinodoxa or Glory of the Snow. The intense bright blue of a mass of these flowers, when viewed from a distance will give the effect of water. Should you happen to have a low spot or hollow try planting Glory of the Snow bulbs in it and you will be amazed with the translucent effect you will have from this mass of early blooms. Rev. Roy Thompson Takes North Shore Pastorate The Rev. Roy Thompson, assistant editor of the Chicago Bladet, accepted last week the call as pastor of the First Scandinavian Evangelical church of Winnetka. He preached his first sermon as pastor of the church last Sunday. The new pastor was formerly active in young people's conference work and was editor of the Young People's Mes- senger, before being made assistant editor of the Bladet. Mr. and Mrs. Thompson have been making their home in Chicago, but will move soon to Winnetka.
