Now is the time to plant bulbs for spring beauty and color. We have some wonderful selections of dwarf daffodils, species tulips, large flowering alliums, frittilarias, scillas and much more. Remember to plant in sweeps for the best effect, fertilize at time of planting, plant at the right depth, and protect against moles, volves and squirrels. Bulbs look great in beds by themselves, in meadow plantings, and they can really jazz up a planting of mixed shrubs and trees. Combine them with perennials that will hide their drying foliage latter on, create a carpet as an underplanting to a speciman tree or along a woodland's edge or put some in pots for winter forcing.
Nothing says welcome to spring as bulbs do.
We have recently received new shipments of screening material for installation this autumn. It's an excellent time to plant large trees, as they will get a head start come next spring. Look for fresh spruces, white pines, blue spruces and hemlocks - with large Boxwoods up to 9' also available upon request. Call for availability, sizes and prices. We are pleased to announce that Ken Twombly was recently presented with the Jackson Dawson Memorial Award by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
