Early in spring the golden blos- 
soms of Winter Aconites look charm- 
ing, resting on an emerald green 
cushion of leavesand forming astrik- 
iag contrast to the pure white Snow- 
drop, Spring Snowflake, and the 
lovely blue Scillas and Chionodoxa. 
The Winter Aconite’s flower appears 
in the garden very early. The large 
golden blossoms often unfold among 
ice and snow. For winter blooming 
in pots it is a bulb that all should 
have; the large golden blossoms 
show to great advantage. Itis per-
