RAIN LILY. 



Cooperia Drummondi — A very pretty plant for 

 winter blooming in the house and, although not 

 considered quite hardy in this latitude, the bulbs 

 may be kept dry over winter and planted in the 

 garden in spring, where a succession of bloom 

 may be had from a clump of them, from May to 

 September. The flowers are deliciously fragrant, 

 pure white, star-shaped, with long tubes, and 

 measure from one inch to one and one-half inches 

 across. It derives its name "Rain Lily'* from the 

 fact that it remains constantly in bloom during 

 rainy weather.

RANUNCULUS. 



A garden or greenhouse plant also suitable for 

 house culture. It is not quite hardy enough to 

 bear planting in the garden in the fall, but as the 

 bulbs can be kept in a dry state until spring, thev 

 may then be planted and will produce an abund- 

 ance of flowers. Give them a rather shady place 

 in the garden.

SNOWDROPS. 



The little nodding flowers of this well-known 

 plant are generally the first to appear in spring, 

 often rearing their delicate heads above a light 

 covering of snow in early March. They are suit- 

 able for pot culture, but are most effective when 

 planted in clumps on the lawn. Plant in Septem- 

 ber or October. Any good garden soil will suit 

 them. They require no protection, being quite 

 hardy.
