GALANTHUS (Snowdrop) 
In the early Spring months, there is nothing more beautiful than a sheet of the snowy graceful 
blossoms Of the Snowdrop. In planting, the bulbs should almost touch each other. An 
effect of surpassing beauty may be obtained with Snowdrops associated with Seillas sibiriea, or 
bifolia, Chionodoxa Lueilise, C. sardensis, or c. gigantea. When practicable such 
plantings should be permanent, and the surface of the soil top dressed in Summer and sown with 
annuals, such as Nemophila, Leptosiphon, &c., or planted with surface rooting bedding plants. 
The Snowdrop and the CrOCUS when planted in alternate circles are very effective, and follow 
each other so closely that no gap is left in the succession. 
The Snowdrop looks charmingly at home when nestling in grass, on hedge banks, &c. 
The turf need not be disturbed, but holes about three inches apart and five inches deep should be 
made with a dibber, dropping in three inches of fresh soil, then three or more bulbs. The Giant 
Single Snowdrop , Galanthus Elwesii, should he <xtcusively used; its flowers are large anil 
valuable for cutting. In its native habitat it is found growing with the Chionodoxa, and the 
effect of the two together is lovely. 
Permanent plantings of Snowdrops should be made always in the sliade as far as possible.
