SNOWDROPS 
“Fair maids in February — the earliest harbingers of 
spring and a joy to behold after the long dreary days 
of winter. You'll delight in a patch or two in a sheltered 
spot under shrubbery or in a sunny nook. Their pure 
white bells are a symbol of purity, and so the legend 
goes —, ‘‘were born of a snowflake in the Garden of 
Eden.’’ Plant Snowdrops in patches of a dozen or so, 
3-4 in. apart, in places where late winter sun discourages 
snow, and bring the promise of Spring into your life 
earlier than you've ever known it. They'll increase in 
beauty year by year requiring no attention.

GRAPE HYACINTHS 
Invaluable color foils for Daffodils. Once planted these 
persistent hardy little jewels multiply and spread and 
form beautiful masses of bloom which continues into 
the Early Tulip season. They naturalize easily and are 
ideal for the edge of woodlands, along pathways, in 
fact, anywhere in the garden scheme. 
White Pearl. Striking little 6 in. spires of glistening 
pure white beads. Sensational in our Spring Flower 
Show gardens. Long lasting flowers, ideal for cutting, 
for dainty corsages or miniature arrangements. Groups 
of 12 or more planted in association with evergreens 
are spectacular for their shining purity, and intensify 
the brilliance of other bulbs with emphatic contrast. 
FBH576 25 for $1.25; 100 for $4.55 
Rich Blue. Beautiful 6 in. spikes of bright blue bloom. 
Rich, attractive shade naturalizes well and combines 
beautifully with Daffodils and early tulips. You'll love 
the way they spread and take care of themselves. 
FBH578 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.85 
BLUE GLORIES OF THE SNOW 
Chionodoxa Luciliae 
Pretty baby-blue, white eyed jewels — sparkling beau- 
ties in late March and April. Handsome planted in 
groups of 25 or more with the midget Tulips or massed 
in front of evergreens and the very early flowering 
shrubs. They grow about 6 inches high, multiply rapidly 
and form glorious carpets of the clearest blue. 
FBH491 25 for 95¢; 100 for $3.45; 250 for $6.65 
GIANT SCILLA (Star of Holland) 
(Siberica Spring Beauty.) Ideal for edgings — or mass- 
ing in flower beds. One of the loveliest of the very 
early small spring flowers, producing several stems per 
bulb of vivid indigo-blue blossoms. They spread rapidly 
and form a solid carpet of brilliant blue as the years 
pass. Use Scilla liberally in combination with Daffodils 
and early flowering shrubs. Watch the old flowers de- 
velop into tiny bulblets which soon root into the ground 
and add hundreds of new bulbs at no cost to you! Star 
of Holland gives you so much for so little! 
FBH596 20 for $1.35; 40 for $2.55; 100 for $5.85 
SPRING SNOWFLAKE 
Like Giant Lily of the Valley — and just as charming 
and dainty! Graceful arching 15 inch stems carry ten or 
twelve lovely emerald tipped white bells. They start 
blooming with the Daffodils and continue well into the 
late Tulip season. Plant in light shade and leave un- 
disturbed. They'll flourish for years and add gracious 
dignity to any planting. Combine with Daffodils, early 
yellow and lavender Tulips to bring beauty of form and 
intriguing variety to your bulb garden.

ENGLISH WOOD HYACINTHS 
Scilla Campanulata 
Very effective planted with Tulips for a late May dis- 
play. Their soft shades blend beautifully and their 
graceful 15 in. stems of drooping bells lend a distinc- 
tive charm to all Tulip plantings. Ideal for naturalizing. 
Clear sky-blue, light rose and snow white in a hand 
blended balanced mixture of all three colors. 
FBH590 25 for $1.00; 100 for $3.65 
TULIP TIPS. If foliage is not given a chance 
to thoroughly dry upon the bulb, it cannot 
store up enough energy within it for blossoms 
the following year.
