SNOWDROPS. 
The Snowdrop will be found to thrive best in shady 
banks or moist nooks, and the best plan to adopt is to assign 
to it a situation as nearly as possible akin to its nature as 
can be. The bulbs may be planted almost close together 
and not less than 3 in. deep. 
All mailed free.

These embrace a large number of species, varying from 
shrubby bushes to small herbaceous plants. It is with the 
latter that we are just now most concerned — such as are 
used in the winter and spring decoration of rooms and con- 
servatories. The dormant roots are supplied in clumps, 
which are placed singly into 6-in. pots or a size larger if 
necessary. If given plenty of water as soon as they 
commence to grow, and kept in heat, they will become 
effective very quickly.
