FRITILLARIA, an extremely elegant family of hardy shade-loving plants, bearing graceful 
drooping bell-shaped flowers in May. The large-flowered varieties are charming for grouping 
in borders and for clumps on rockwork; while the smaller flowered dwarf kinds are gems for 
select nooks on the rockery. All are delightful subjects for naturalising in grass in shady 
glens or under large trees. They should be planted 6 to 12 inches deep (the lighter the soil 
the deeper) and a little sharp sand should be placed around the bulbs. As pot plants 
(several in a pot) they are very pretty. The tuw varieties of Meleagris are very fine.
