Eranthis or Winter Aconite 
The Winter Aconite is one of the earliest and hardiest of the early Spring 
flowers. The pretty golden-yellow, buttercup-like flowers appear before the 
snow goes away, about the time the Chionodoxa bloom. They continue to 
flower for several weeks. The plants have shining green leaves and are about 
six inches high. The bulbs are only about the size of a large pea and should 
not be planted more than an inch or so deep. They naturalize under trees or 
about shrubbery and enjoy moist situations. The bulbs can be forced for indoor 
winter bloom.

Fritillaria 
The best known of this branch of the Lily Family are the stately Crown 
Imperials (Fritillaria Imperialis) which bear their flower-ringed clusters at the 
top of the two or three-feet plant. They should be planted in a place where 
the tall plants will not be exposed to winds and where they may remain undis¬ 
turbed for a number of years. The stem should not be cut off but allowed to 
mature naturally. The Guinea Hen flower is Fritillaria Meleagris. It is a dwarf 
form with pendant bell-shaped, oddly marked flowers. Fritillaria bulbs should 
be planted in small clumps about five or six inches deep and should have a deep 
mulching of leaves or coarse manure for protection before freeze-up. The bulbs 
may be forced for indoor or greenhouse display.
