CHIONODOXA 
(Glory of the Snow) 
The Chionodoxa is one of the loveliest spring flowers, and when established, 
its sheets of blue in very early spring are a great attraction. It blooms at the 
time of the Crocuses, producing dwarf flower spikes, bearing 12 to 15 flowers of a 
sky blue with a pure white heart, creating a lovely effect. It should be used in 
borders as edgings, also massed on rockwork or in the shrubbery. Chionodoxa 
may be placed in a sunny location or in half shade where they can remain 
undisturbed for years. They will seed themselves, forming natural colonies. 
Plant September to November, 3 to 4 inches deep, and for best effect about 18 
bulbs to the square foot.

40c doz., $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000.

LEUCOJUM—SNOWFLAKE (Leucojum Aestivum) 
A very handsome, hardy and robust plant producing in May elegant spikes 
of long stemmed flowers highly prized for vases. The stems 14 to 18 inches high 
are topped by 4 to 8 handsome, white, drooping, bell-like flowers having a small 
dot of green on the edge of each petal. The bulbs look like narcissus, require 
similar culture, and may be left undisturbed for years. Plant in September to 
November, 3 to 4 inches deep, measuring from the shoulder of the bulb. Prefers 
a partly shaded position in moist loamy soil well drained in winter. Lovely in 
fern borders or in groups in the shrubbery. 6 bulbs 50c, 85c doz., $6.00 per 100. 
ORNITHOGALUM 
Nutans (Silver Stars). Produces in April to May elegant spikes of beautiful silvery 
grey flowers, shaded outside pale sea green and covered with a silken sheen 
that gives them a most uncommon effect. The sturdy flower stalk grows about a 
foot high, strung with a dozen pendulant flaring bells of large size. The large 
three-cornered seed pods that follow the blossoms up the stem are attractive 
and ornate. They are valuable as cut flowers and arrange well with tulips. 
Wherever shown they have created much admiration and demand. Thrives in 
dense shade or open border, naturalizes well, hardy, easy to grow and in¬ 
creases rapidly. A valuable addition to the shaded border. Plant in the fall 
3 to 4 inches deep. 50c doz., $3.00 per 100, $25.00 per 1000. 
Pyramidale is entirely different from O. Nutans. Pyramidale grows to a height 
of 2 feet or more with long spikes of small beautiful snowy white flowers in early 
June. It is a charming plant for massing in herbaceous borders and woodlands. 
It is prized for cutting and works in well with other things in flower arrangements. 
Hardy; easy to grow, and may be left undisturbed for years. Plant in the fall, 
3 to 4 inches deep. 3 bulbs 30c, $1.00 doz., $7.50 per 100. 
SNOWDROPS (Galanthus) 
In the early spring months there is nothing more beautiful than a sheet of the 
snowy graceful blossoms of the Snowdrop, with which everybody is familiar 
and loves. Practically the first flower to appear after the dreariness of winter, 
and is in flower before the frost is out of the ground. Can be grown under trees, 
shrubs and naturalized in woodlands. They require very little attention and can 
remain undisturbed for years. For best effect they should be planted rather 
thick, 2 inches apart each way. Plant from September to November in a perma¬ 
nent half shady position. They like rather moist and cool soil. On light soils 6 
inches, on heavy soils 4 inches deep. 
Single Snowdrop (Nivalis). 80c doz., $6.00 per 100.
