SNOWDROPS. 
The Snowdrop will be found to thrive best in shady 
banks or moist nooks, and the best plan to adopt is to assign 
to it a situation as nearly as possible akin to its nature as 
can be. The bulbs may be planted almost close together 
and not less than 3 in. deep.

These embrace a large number of species, varying from 
shrubby bushes to small herbaceous plants. It is with the 
latter that we are just now most concerned—such as are 
used in the winter and spring decoration of rooms and con¬ 
servatories. The dormant roots are supplied in clumps, 
which are placed singly into 6-in. pots or a size larger if 
necessary. If given plenty of water as soon as they 
commence to grow, and kept in heat, they will become 
effective very quickly. 
Two charming varieties.

leathery plumes of bright pink flowers, and together with
