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 47).

SNOWFLAKE. 



(LEUCOJUM 

 VERNUM.) 



Produces flowers like monster snowdrops, having the delicate fra- 

 grance of the Violet; very graceful in growth. It is one of our earliest 

 spring flowers, with white blossoms distinctly tipped green, handsome 

 in outline and prized for bouquets. They 

 should be grown in quantities in the 

 borders or in spots on the edges, of 

 shrubbery, where they are beautifully 

 effective, and when established produce 

 enormous quantities of flowers. They can 

 also be slowly forced in pots for winter 

 bloom. Largest bulbs, 25c. doz.; $1.75 

 per 100; or delivered $2.00 per 100.
