CHIONODOXA LUCILIAE 
As our firm of C. G. Van Tubergen of Haarlem, Holland has 
been collecting these treasures from all parts of the world for more 
than 80 years, and their hybridists have made them a specialty, all 
of the newest hybrids, finest and most beautiful varieties, and the 
rarest gems will always be found in our publications. 
Glory Uf The Snow Chionodoxa 
One of the most gladdening sights in early spring 1s 
a plantation of Chionodoxas which produce so lavishly 
their starry clustered blossoms of chiefly purest blue. 
While not as well known as Scillas, they are worthy rivals 
as beautifiers in the spring graden. They increase rapidly 
by seeds and offsets, are absolutely hardy, and can be 
left undisturbed for years. They are fine for planting 
under the edges of shrubs, for naturalizing, for borders 
or for the rock garden. The bulbs must be planted im- 
mediately on receipt. Depth to plant, 3 inches and 2 or 
3 inches apart.
