The Tulips, Snowdrops, Miniature Hyacinths, 
and Scilla Sibirica, and Crocuses, do beautifully to 
grow either in sand, or water, or soil. Red Yan 
Thol Tulips and white Crocuses look exceedingly 
nice together, and the Hyacinths, Scillas, and 
Snowdrops, mixed together, are perfectly lovely 
nosegays and last an unheard-of time. 
A very good group for a large saucer or soup- 
plate is made of three Yan Thols in the middle — 
and about a dozen white Crocuses, with three or 
four more Yan Thols here and there amongst them. 
A whole plateful of Tulips is delicious too — you 
cannot tell how sweet it is. And three pink 
Hyacinths with two or three white ones, about 
half a dozen Scillas, and a ring of Snowdrops, is 
charming for a centre dish, or to place in a hang- 
ing basket.
