tricts must be covered with a thick layer of straw or leaves. Splendid

live where the climate is mild should plant them freely.

Galanthus Nivalis 
GALANTHUS - Snowdrops 
Snowdrops belong to the most beloved early flowering spring bulbs. They 
require very little attention, and can. remain undisturbed for years and 
years. They like rather moist and cool soil. To get a lovely effect they 
must be planted thickly, while they can be grown under trees and shrubs, 
in woodlands and in lawns. In the latter case, the lawn should not be mown 
before the leaves are withered, or next year’s blooms may be spoiled. 
Nivalis Six 65c, Doz. 99c, 25 $1.65, 100 $6.00 
This is the old-fashioned favorite. Its lovely white nodding blooms are 
out before the frost is out of the ground; one of the lovely bulbs that 
tell us spring is almost here. A group naturalized in the shade of shrubs 
or under trees is worth while. Once planted they remain for a lifetime. 
(Color illustration above.)

Double form of the common Snowdrop, requiring same care. 
LACHENALIA 
These bulbs are especially useful for forcing as they can be grown in flats 
or in pots. Do well out-of-doors in milder climates and are showy in beds, 
borders, and rock gardens. They have from one to two dozen generally 
pendulous, fire-cracker-like flowers, three-quarters to one inch in length 
on stems six to nine inches and bloom from late November to February, 
depending on the time of planting and the temperature in which they are 
grown.
