WINTER ACONITE. 



Early in Spring the golden blossoms of the Winter Aconite look 

 charming, resting on an emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a 

 striking contrast to the pure white Snowdrop, Spring Snowflake, and the 

 lovely blue Scillas and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains long after the 

 flowers, making the plant especially valuable in situations such as under 

 trees, and in moist situations, which the Winter Aconite enjoys, and where 

 few other flowering plants will thrive. 3 to 8 inches high. {See cut.) 5c.
