Snowdrops - Galanthus 
There just isn’t anything in the plant world to 
take the place of these lovely little harbingers of 
spring. In our northern gardens they often push 
through the Iate snows and dot the scenery when 
the snow has melted. They will do well most any- 
where but prefer moist, cool soil and are especially 
pleasing under trees and shrubs. If undisturbed and 
the tops allowed to ripen each season, they will last 
for years. Plant thickly for best effects.

pretty white nodding flowers bloom before the 
frost is out of the ground.
