ERANTHIS HYEMALIS 



(WINTER ACONITES 



Early in spring the golden blossoms of the Winter .\conitelook charming, 

 resting on an emerald-green cushion of leaves and forming a striking contrast 

 to the Snowdrop, Scillas and Chionodoxa. The foliage remains long after the 

 flowers, making the plant eyiecially valuable in moist situations such as 

 under trees, which '.he Winter Aconite enjoys, and where few other flowering 

 plants will thrive. 3 to S inches high. 40c. doz.; S3. 00 per 100, postpaid.

 of the easiest culture, they thrive and increase in either sunny or partially 

 shaded positions in the garden. When naturalized in little colonies where 

 they can remain undisturbed for several years, the effect — especially of the 

 Grape Hyacinths — is very pretty, while as edgings they are most charming. 

 All are also adapted for winter flowering in the house.

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 sur- 

 passing beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre edged with 

 bright blue Chionodoxias, or by intermingling 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.
