LEUCOJUM AESTIVUM 
Spring Snowflake 
This pretty bulbous plant is similar to the 
snowdrop but of larger, stronger, and more 
attractive habit. In rich soil it grows to a 
height of 8 inches and produces, in late April, 
beautiful large white llowers, tipped with 
green, that are excellent for cutting. When 
once planted they take care of themselves, 
and should be in ail hardy collections. Also 
do well in pots.
