HERALDS OF SPRING 
WINTER 
ACONITES 
(Eranthis hyemalis) 
As illustrated on this page 
the buttercup-like flowers 
arise above a dark green 
rosette of foliage 3 inches 
above the ground. They 
bloom a few weeks before the 
Crocus. Especially recom- 
mended for naturalizing, for 
small beds, groups and rock- 
eries.

SNOWDROPS 
(Galanthus nivalis) 
Their lovely, white, nod- 
ding blooms are out before 
the frost is out of the ground. 
For nice effect they must be 
planted thickly under trees 
and shrubs and in rockeries. 
Planted in groups Snowdrops 
will soon make intimate 
colonies. Once planted they 
remain for years.

DOUBLE 
SNOWDROPS 
The difference between 
the Single and Double Snow- 
drops is that the cups of the 
latter are filled with small 
soft petals. They flower a 
little later than the Single 
variety.

For showy displays, Crocus should always be planted in 
groups or masses. They will grow in many places—in the 
lawn, in flower beds, in rock gardens, in sun or shade, and 
even under trees. The flowers of the following varieties are 
large and strong and remain erect until the end of the flower- 
ing season.
