Chionodoxa 



Glory of the Snow 



8351 Luciliae Of all the showy flow- 

 ers listed on this page, we like this one 

 best of all. The graceful flowers measure 

 close to an inch in diameter. They have 

 deep blue tips, shading into white toward 

 the center of the flower. In sheltered 

 places the blooms will appear almost as 

 early as those of the Crocus. In more ex- 

 posed situations they bloom somewhat 

 later. Perfectly hardy and excellent for 

 planting in drifts in the foreground of 

 beds or in the rock garden. Height, 5 to 8 

 inches. They are perfectly hardy outdoors.
