Snowdrops— Single and Double. 
Botjt the single and double flowered varieties of these ever popular and charming little “Heralds of Spring” are too well known to 
need any description. Snowdrops will thrive in almost any soil or situation, and best when planted in clumps and left to take care 
of themselves for several years in succession, when they will form handsome and increasingly large groups, which on warm, sunny banks 
or borders, will push forth their numerous beautiful pure white flowers early in the new year. October is the best month to plant, 
and the bulbs should bo placed three or four inches deep, and about two inches apart. We have seen some pretty effects produced 
in Spring by planting Snowdrops in various designs on lawns, grass plots, &c. The Giant Snowdrop (Oalanthus Elwesi ), a 
fine variety, growing to the height of a foot, is undoubtedly the finest of all the Snowdrops. It is quite hardy, as easily grown as 
the common variety, and so cheap as now to be within the reach of all.

been in bloom for some time, and have been greatly admired by all who 
saw them.”

The dwarf-growing early-flowering varieties of this beautiful class, as A. silirica, prcecox , amaena, and lifolia , are extremely beautiful, 
and _ should be grown freely in every garden. In height they do not exceed four or five inches, and their lovely bending sprays 
of rich ultramarine blue flowers appear in the greatest profusion during the month of March. They are quite hard 3 r , grow freely in 
almost any soil or position, and make charmingly effective edgings to beds of Snowdrops, &c., aud if planted three or four inches 
deep aud allowed to remain undisturbed, they will come up aud bloom every Spring with increasing vigour and beauty. Planted 
eight or ten in a six-inch pot and treated as recommended for Hyacinths, they succeed equally well, and have a pretty effeot in 
the greenhouse. The varieties of S. peruviana and A. campanulata bloom in May and June. These are of stronger growth than 
the preceding, and suited to the rougher parts of the garden.
