CHINESE SACRED LILY, Narcissus Polyanthus, 67. 
CHIONODOXA (Glory of the Snow). The Chionodoxa is one of our 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.
