SNOW DROPS.—— 
In the early spring months there is nothing more beautiful than a sheet of the snowy, graceful blos- 
goms of the Snowdrop. Beds and effects of surpassing beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the 
centre, edged with bright blue Scilla Sibirica or Chionodoxa Luciliz, or by intermingling them. When 
practicable, such plantings of the Snowdrops should be permanent. The Snowdrop and the Crocus, 
when planted in alternate circles, are very effective, and follow each other so closely that no gap is left 
in the succession. In beds of Tulips and Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effective between the lines; 
they flower while these bulbs are just moving the surface, and when the flowers are Over there remains 
an elegant groundwork of green foliage. Used as a permanent edging, and in masses on the edges of 
lawns, nestling in the grass, they look charming.
