established, leaving a nearly colorless portion of the scape and leaves 
under ground. Unlike the Siberian squill, which has nodding 
flowers, the large-flowered glory-of-the-snow opens its flowers 
upward, so that one can see the white throats. 
The bulbs should be planted about three inches deep and two 
or three inches apart. They flourish in any fertile soil, and are 
suitable for use in grassy places. Like many other spring bulbs 
they improve with succeeding seasons until the sixth or seventh, 
when it may be necessary to renew them. Seeds are formed freely, 
and may be used to propagate new plants.
