Harbingers of Spring ^ 
-- Plant in Fall - 
Among the earliest to bloom, often seen before the snow is gone, are the choice bulbous 
plants listed below. Choose for low drifts, small groups, borders and the rockery. All 
perfectly hardy and easily grown. 
ERANTHIS Hyemalis, Winter Aconite. These fine and lovely little yellow buttercup-like flowers 
rising from among the green leaves are thrifty, hardy and will do well in shade or sun. Once 
established, they seed themselves readily and form a fine mass of bloom. Plant promptly, 2 
inches deep, as soon as received, and you will have flowers at the same period as your Snow¬ 
drops and two weeks before the Crocus bloom. 3 for 10c; 12 for 35c; 100 for $2.50. 
CHIONODOXA, Glory of the Snow. One of the 
loveliest of our very early spring flowers. The 
bulbs are native to Asia Minor, but do well in 
our gardens. The brilliant blue flowers, touched 
with contrasting white center, are delightful 
around the shrubbery or evergreens and in nat¬ 
uralized groups. Blooms during Crocus time. 
Plant 2 inches deep and 2 inches apart. 
3 for 10c: 12 for 30c; 25 for 50c. 
GALANTHUS Nivalis, Snowdrop. A planting of 
these small bulbs will furnish a life-time of the 
earliest and most delightful of tiny drooping bell 
shaped white flowers delicately touched with 
green. 12 for 40c; 100 for $2.75. 
SCILLA Campanulata. Hardy, of easiest culture 
and rapid increase. Set bulbs 3 to 4 inches deep
