S. Peruviana requires slight protection; all the others are 

 quite hardy, and may remain in the ground several years. The 

 effect in early spring of the intensely rich blue, early-flowering 

 Scilla, contrasting with the snow-white of the snow -di-op and thv 

 varied hues of the crocus, is very striking; most \ahiable for 

 permanent edging, or planted in bunches of a dozen or so.

Perhaps no spring flower is a more general favorite than 

 the Snowdrop. The earliest flowering of its varieties is the 

 common single sort, which is also very graceful and beauti- 

 ful, commencing to bloom before the snow is fairly off the 

 ground in spring. This is succeeded by the double-flowered 

 variety, with its elegant drooping, snow-white blossoms. 

 Should be planted 2 to 3 inches deep in a shady location.
