SNOWDROPS. 



In the early spring months there is nothing more beautiful than a 

 sheet of the snowy, graceful blossoms of the Snowdrop. Beds and effects 

 of surpassing beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre 

 edged with bright blue Scilla Sibirica, or Chionodoxias, or by inter- 

 mingling them. 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. 

 Snowdrops are easily flowered in pots during the winter or in bowls or 

 dishes in Henderson's Fibre (See page 50).

SNOWFLAKE or LEUCOJUM. 



The Snowflakes are hardy bulbous plants closely related to the Snow- 

 drops — but of more robust growth producing larger flowers on taller 

 stems. Snowflakes deserve to be better known and more extensively 

 planted particularly in masses in semi-shaded places in the garden 

 border, naturalized In grass, wild gardens etc., where they soon be- 

 comes established, spread and bloom 

 year after year. The Spring flowering 

 Snowflake (L. Vernum) may also be grown 

 in pots or pans of soil or in Henderson's 

 Prepared Fibre (offered on page 50) 

 but must be grown cool .and slow. The 

 delicately fragrant bell formed flowers are 

 borne in pendent clusters on spikes 6 to 

 12 inches in height. Plant the bulbs 

 about 3 inches apart and 3 inches deep.

 undergrowth in Hyacinth beds, etc.

 (see page 50) , they may be had in bloom 

 from Christmas until April. (See cut.}
