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 each season. 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 very charming. For an effect 
the first season, plant the bulbs close together.
