Ei.wEs' Giant Snowdrops, 



SNO^VDROPS (GaUnthus). 



The charming Snowdrop is tlie first of 

 all flowers to herald the approach of 

 spring. It can frequently be seen in bloum 

 when the ground is white with snow, as it 

 takes every advantage, and hastens to dis- 

 play its graceful .snow-white bells before 

 the winter has disa|)peartd. In conjunc- 

 tion with Chionodoxas and Scilla Sibirica a 

 matchless effect can be produced. As the 

 bulbs are small they should be planted 

 liberally in order to obtain imintdiale results. Banks, grassy slopes, edging or rock- 

 work will suit all these bulbs. They should not be disturbed often if a fine display is 

 desired.
