Snowdrops 



SNO\%OROPS 



(Galanthus) 



The charming Snowdrop is the first of all 

 flowers to herald the approach of spring. It 

 can frequently be seen in bloom when the ground 

 is white with snow, as it takes every advan- 

 tage, and hastens to display its graceful snow- 

 white bells before the winter has disappeared. 

 In conjunction with Chionodoxas and Scilla 

 Sibirica a matchless effect can be produced. As 

 the bulbs are small they should be planted hb- 

 erally in order to obtain immediate results. 

 Banks, grassy slopes, edging or rock-work will 

 suit all these bulbs. They should not be dis- 

 turbed often if a fine display is desired. It is 

 possible to grow these in pots in the house. A 

 dozen bulbs will fill a 5-inch pot. They will not 

 stand forcing, doing best in a low temperature.
