The First Flowers of Spring 
The early spring flowers always have had a particular appeal to gardeners. Though they are not large, they seem to mean 
so much to us because they are the first ones. Plant them plentifully: Snowdrops, Scillas, and all the others listed on this 
and the following pages. Plant some Chionodoxa this year too. They make a splendid show, are hardy, and will last 
almost indefinitely. Fritillaria, Grape Hyacinths, and Scilla are seen far too seldom. We know you will like them. And 
be sure to include some of the newer Iris and Anemones. ,—
