SNOWDROP 



The first to herald the approach of spring, defying the cold and lifting its tiny but 

 beautiful white blossoms to view before the snow has disappeared and when there is no 

 other sign of vegetable life, the Snowdrop is always welcome. They should be planted 

 in beds, in the border, or in clumps in the open lawn, and will endure any amount of 

 hard treatment; still, no flower better repays care and attention. Plant the bulbs in 

 September or October — the earlier the better — to enable them to become well established 

 before freezing weather. Set about two or three inches deep, and one inch apart, in 

 clumps or triple rows; if planted singly they are not conspicuous. The bulbs should not 

 be kept long out of the ground, and should not be disturbed oftener than once in two or 

 three years. doz. icw
