Winter Aconite Zephyranthes Candida 



in the bleakest days of February. Any soil or situation will suit it, 

 and it should be planted in large patches where a winter's walk in the 

 garden affords pleasure. It should also be grown in quantity within 

 view from the windows, for the benefit of those who, in the dreary 

 season, cannot get out. The bulbs may be left in the ground for 

 several years, or they may be taken up and stored after the leaves 

 have perished.
