Winter Aconite. 
Almost, if not quite tbe earliest amongst bulbs, is the simple and singular Winter Aconite— a veritable Christmas Rose in miniature ! 
Seeming to care little for culture, it is an ever-constant messenger, as it were, that precedes the Scilla, Snowdrop, and Crocus. It 
thrives freely in every kind of site or situation, and may well be scattered among beds of later subjects; may bo applied, in fact, as 
rows, or to grow under overhanging trees. If it has a preference it is for a moist soil, wherein it thrives and succeeds admirably.
