beautiful hardy Spring bulbs, producing in profusion masses

 carpet the ground; and if grown with Snowdrops and 

 Crocuses, for contrast, the effect is magnificent. 

 They should be largely planted as undergrowth in 

 Hyacinth beds, etc. Grown in pots they may be had 

 in bloom from Christmas until April. (See cut.) 2
