Eranthis- Winter Aconite 
Pretty little yellow flower-like buttercups, each flower surrounded 
by a frilly little ruff of green composed of finely cut foliage. They 
brave the most inclement weather to bloom early in the spring, 
two weeks or more before the Crocuses, and are lovely under 
shrubs and trees where they colonize rapidly by off-sets and self- 
sown seed. Nice with Snowdrops artd Scilla bifolia. They must 
be ordered early and planted immediately upon receipt. Plant about 
3 inches deep and about 4 inches apart.

they are sterile. A. M. London and Award of Garden Merit

Fritillaria Meleagris 
Commonly known as the “Checkered Lily” or 
“Guinea Hen Flower’ because of its odd checker-like 
markings. It is frequently grown, not only because it 1s 
quaint and unusual but also because it can be planted 
with assurance that tt will give freely over the years for 
every bit of attention lavished on it. Though not as 
showy and spectacular as Fritillaria imperialis, it has a 
charm all its own. The leafy graceful stems are hung 
with many pendant bell-like flowers of ideal size for rock 
gardens or group plantings. It ts much easter.to grow 
than F. imperialts, is very hardy, and will be quite happy 
in a lightly shaded corner where the soil is dampish and 
full of humus. Plant immediately upon arrival about 4 
to 6 inches deep. Mulch new plantings the first year. 
Blooms in May.
