Snowdrops. 
The earliest flower that blooms, and of such hardiness 
that it minds neither sleet nor snow. Exceedingly graceful 
and pretty, its nodding white flowers touched with green. 
Snowdrops bloom a few days before the Croons and Siberian 
Scilla. but last until these are nearly gone. It is especially 
fine when planted in clumps and masses to contrast with the 
deeply blue masses of the Scilla. Much used also for lawns. 
Elwesil, The Ciant Snowdrop— As we now, March 20th, 
sit at our desk with a dainty little bunch of this Snow¬ 
drop before ns, picked from a large bed of it on the lawn, 
we can fully realize what a gem it is. The grace and 
beautv of the large blossoms isenchanting. but whatcan 
we say of its fragrance, it is rich and so delicate, unlike 
any othor flower, and really second to none. This fine 
new Snowdrop was introduced recently from the moun¬ 
tains of Smyrna. It is three times as large and fine as 
the common Snowdrop, and a great acquisition, either 
for the garden or for pots. For winter blooming it is just 
superb, its large, snowy flowers appearing in profusion, 
and showing great beauty and airy grace. Price, 2 for 
5c.; 12 for 20.; 100 for 85. 
Double Ciant—A double form of large flowering Snowdrop. 
Very beautiful. 4c. each; 3 for 10c.; 12 for 25e. 
GroWp Imperials.

with the Crocus, and the strong flower-stems at once attract 
attention. They grow so rapidly that in a few days they 
stand three feet high, crowned with a tuft of elegant foliage 
and half a dozen large, bell-shaped, drooping flowers. These 
blossoms are as large and as beautiful as Lilies. A grand 
bulb for early blooming. Each.
