FRITILLARIA, an extremely elegant family of hardy plants, bearing graceful drooping bell- 
shaped flowers in May. The large-flowered varieties are charming for grouping in borders 
and for clumps on rockwork ; the smaller-flowered dwarf kinds for select nooks on the 
rockery. They are all essentially shade-loving plants, and a little sharp sand placed around 
the bulbs at time of planting is very beneficial. All make very pretty pot plants (several in a 
pot) for greenhouse decoration. 
The 1 Snakeshead Fritillarias ’ (F. meleagris vars.) have large graceful bell- 
shaped chequered flowers ; they are of easy culture, and are very effective in groups on
