CHIONODOXA, OK GLOIiY 01' THE SNOW 
Glory ot tfye Sr>o\V. 
Onoe to see this floral gom is always to want it. Resem¬ 
bling somewhat SeitJa Siberica. it yet differs from it and has 
a charm peouliarly its own. Tho purest, clearest tones of 
blue are to be-found in these flowers, that appear so early 
that they are often overtaken by winter's last forays and be¬ 
come literally Glories in the Snow. Blue is always a scarce 
color among house plants, and as the Chionodoxas succeed 
well in the house, a pot or two of them should bo grown in 
every window. Their greatest value, however, is forgarden 
planting. Here they increase rapidly, and soon form great 
clumps that in early spring are a cloud of blue flowers in 
dainty sprays just long enough forcutting or to wear. They 
are native of high mountain regions, and perfectly hardy in 
the coldest part of the country. Plant two inches deep.
