Horticultural Bulbs: One of the most popular ways of growing bulbs—snowdrops, daffodils and crocuses, in particular—is to naturalize them in drifts so they spread at will. This is usually done in grass, but those bulbs preferring shady woodland conditions can be naturalized in soil under trees and shrubs. It is also possible to establish bulbs beneath a planting of ground cover like scrambling ivies.

GRANTS PASS, a city in southwestern Oregon, the seat of Josephine county, is on the Rogue River, about 32 miles (51 km) north of the California border. The surrounding region is heavily wooded, and the city's chief industries are lumbering and the manufacture of plywood and other wood products. Agriculture, dairying, and meat products are important. The growing of horticultural bulbs is a specialty.
