<—€ (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 recommended 
for naturalizing, for small beds, 
groups and rockeries.

Snowdrops 
<< (Galanthus nivalis) 
Their lovely, white, nodding 
blooms are out before the frost 
leaves the ground. For nice effect 
they must be scattered thickly 
under trees and shrubs and in 
rockeries. Planted in groups, Snow- 
drops will soon make intimate 
colonies. Once started they remain 
for years.

Scilla Campanulata 
(Wood Hyacinth) 
What is more beautiful 
than patches of blue, white 
and pink on the ground 
while shrubs and trees 
show their first fresh green 
foliage? Wood Hyacinths 
produce this magnificent 
effect in the spring garden. 
Plant them in generous 
quantities, especially be- 
tween trees and under 
large shrubs. They do very 
well in light shade. Left 
undisturbed year after year, 
they return in ever greater 
numbers. 42 25 100
