HARDY FLOWERING- BULBS. 



17 



Showbbops. 



Snowdrops are the first blossoms of Spring, 

 bringing graceful greeting of the flowers and 

 verdure that is to come. They can be planted 

 in groups and left undisturbed for years, 

 coming forth annually with renewed strength 

 and beauty. They are also exquisitely pretty 

 planted singly in the grass, their foliage being 

 sufficiently matured to cut without injury to 

 the bulbs by the time the lawn is ready to be 

 mown.

 Snowdrop ; pure white. 3 for 5c; 12 for 20c.
