Mentioned
in a letter, Hearst is quoted, "I wanted to
start the season with the early spring bulbs,
such as tulips and hyacinths. I would like
to use those in the formal beds. They do not
last very long but they are very beautiful
if properly selected, while they do last.
We have so many formal beds now that it is
important to get lovely flowers for them and
to have a succession of fine effects.
