CHIONODOXA (Glory of the Snow). The Chionodoxa is one of our earliest as well as 
loveliest Spring flowers, and in very early Spring its sheets of blue 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.
