CHIONODOXA (Glory of the Snow). The Chionodoxa is one of our earliest as well as 
loveliest Spring flowers, and when established its sheets of blue in very early Spring are a great 
attraction in the garden. It should be largely used in borders and dotted over bulb beds, also 
massed on rockwork. Once planted it comes up year after year, the flower spikes increasing in 
size and beauty. When associated with Narcissus minimus , the effect is very charming. For 
an effect the first season, plant the bulbs close together. The Chionodoxa may be grown also 
in pots and vases and had in bloom early in January, if brought on in a cold frame or cool greenhouse 
close to the glass.
