GHIONODOXA (Glory of the Snow). The Chionodoxa is one of our earliest Spring 
flowers, and its beauty in very early Spring is unsurpassed. It should be largely planted in ail 
borders and dotted over all bulb beds. Once planted it comes up year after year and never 
need be disturbed ; when thus left the flower 
spikes increase in size and beauty each year. If 
grown in pots and jardinets the Chionodoxa may be 
had in bloom early in January, but should be brought 
on in a cold frame or cool greenhouse close to the 
glass. When associated with Narcissus minimus, 
the effect is charming, as both flower at the same 
time. For an immediate effect plant the bulbs close 
together. 
Chionodoxa Lucilisa (The Glory of the 
Snow), unsurpassed for edgings and masses in 
flower borders and on rockwork : colour deep

distant effect it cannot be too highly recommended.

valuable decoration for the greenhouse and sitting-room.
