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 
FRITILLARIA IMPERIALIS (CROWN IMPERIAL). Atr.r 
almost touch each other. An effect of surpassing 
beauty may be obtained by associating Snowdrops with Scillas sibirica and bifolia, Chionodoxas, 
Winter Aconites, etc. Where possible such plantings should be permanent, and the surface of the 
soil top-dressed in Summer and sown with annuals, such as Nemophila, Leptosiphon, etc., or planted 
with surface-rooting bedding plants. 
The Snowdrop looks charming when nestling in grass, on hedge banks, etc. The turf need 
not be disturbed if Barr's Bulb Planter be used (r<« page 95) ; this cuts out clean holes large enough to 
take two or three bulbs. 
Permanent plantings of Snowdrops should be made as far as possible in shady situations. 
On light soils Snowdrops should be planted 6 to 9 inches deep, the stronger-growing bulbs being 
planted the deepest.

GALANTHUS Elwesii, Elwes’ Giant Single Snowdrop, a distinct and beautiful species, and the 
largest and most handsome of all Snowdrops. It has very large snowy globular flowers, the inner 
segments being marked rich emerald-green and white. The bulbs for naturalising should be planted 
where possible on stony slopes, in unmanured soil.
