BARR’S GENERAL BULB CATALOGUE, Autumn, 1906. 
GALANTHUS— continued. 
The Snowdrop looks charming when nestling in grass, on hedge banks, etc. The turf need 
not be disturbed if Bards Bulb Planter be used (see page 91); this cuts out clean holes large 
enough to take two or three bulbs. The Giant Single Snowdrop, Galanthus Elwesii, should 
be extensively used ; its flowers are large and valuable for culling. In its wild state it is found 
growing with the Chionodoxa, and the two associated together present a lovely picture. 
Permanent plantings of Snowdrops should be made as far as possible in shady situations.
