SNOWDROPS 
“ The first pale blossom 
Of the ini ripened year.” 
It is almost an even race between the Snow¬ 
drop and the Crocus to appear in the spring, the 
Snowdrop coming a few days first. As the name 
indicates the flowers are white, and instead of 
standing upright like the Crocus they are nod¬ 
ding on stems about six inches in height. The 
bulbs should be planted close like those of the 
Crocus, and they, too, like the latter, can be 
planted on the lawn where they will maintain 
themselves for a number of years. They make 
very pretty pot plants for the window, starting 
several bulbs in a pot.

TRITELEIA 
Triteleia is a South American species. The common 
name for it is Spring Starflower. Flowers pale blue, two 
to two and a half inches across, borne singly, very rarely 
two, on stems from nine to eighteen inches high. A good 
pot plant, and the bulbs increase rapidly.

SCILLA SI HE RICA 
RANUNCULUS 
The bulbs of the so-called Garden Ranunculus are some¬ 
what tender in northern climates, where they can be 
recommended only for pot culture. The flowers are both 
single and double and of a great variety of colors. '1 he 
bulbs have tooth-like prongs or claws and should be set 
with the claws downwards. The bulbs can be kept in sand 
in a low, even temperature through the winter, and can 
then be planted in the garden early in the spring. At the 
south they can be planted out in late autumn. In growing 
the plants in pots they should have a cool, moist atmos¬ 
phere, such as afforded by a cool greenhouse.

SCILLA 
Two of the best ornamental species of this 
genus of bulbous plants are here offered. The 
plants bloom before the leaves appear. The 
flowers, about an inch across, are borne in clus¬ 
ters on stems about four inches in height. Sc ilia 
Siberica produces flowers of an intense blue, 
while those of S. prsecox alba are pure white. 
After the flowers are gone the leaves appear and 
a new growth of bulbs takes place. r l he bulbs 
are hardy, quite small, and should be planted in 
a group in the garden where they may be left. 
The plants can also be grown in pots, six or eight 
bulbs in a 4-inch or 5-inch pot, and will do well 
in a window or cool greenhouse. Do not give 
them a warm place. After growing in pots the 
bulbs can be turned out into the garden border.
