Snowdrops 
(Galanthus) 
There is nothing more pleasing in the gar- 
den than a large batch of the snowy graceful 
blossoms of the Snowdrops at the end of 
January. Permanent plantings of Snowdrops 
should be done in partly shady situations. 
Double Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis 
flore pleno), the wellknown double snow- 
drop, having large globular blooms of 
peerless white with a touch of green 
inside, gracefully carried on their slender 
stems and most satisfactory for natural- , 
ization and mass planting. Single Snowdrops 
85 cts. per doz.; $ 6.00 per 100 
Single Snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis), the lovely common single Snowdrop of which folks say: ‘‘Fair 
Maids of February are back again’, the favourite flower in the earliest part of the year; very attractive 
when grown in grass or woodlands and neglected shady places, where they are happy and never 
sorry (see illustration). 60 cts. per doz.; $ 4.00 per 100 
Elwesii, very large flowering species, with immense snowy-white globular flowers, very early. Asiatic 
form. 70 cts. per doz.; $ 5.00 per 100 
Sparaxis 
Lovely bulbous plants of the same habit as Ixias. The flowers are even larger in size and produce a 
combination of colours rarely seen in any other race of bulbs or plants. They deserve to be cultivated 
more extensively. Very useful for pots, rock- and Alpine garden etc. 
Beautiful Mixture. 50 cts. per doz.; $ 3.50 per 100 
Sternber gia

Bulbs are not available after September Ist. 
lutea, producing an abundance of rich golden yellow, Crocus-like flowers in fall. It thrives well and 
happily in a good drained position with a southern aspect, where they may be left undisturbed for 
years. Plant bulbs 8 to 10 inches deep. In cold districts they should be protected against severe frost. 
They may also be grown in pots or bowls to flower a few weeks after planting.
