Between the general flower-garden and the ferneries the Friiillaria meleagris (fig. 404) should never be omitted. It is one of the wild flow6rg of England, of which there are many florists' varieties. The F. meleagris is not common in gardens, and I h^e been amused at many gardeners not even knowing what it was. It grows well with me, and seeds freely, and most of the varieties are beautiful. AUied to this is the Crown Imperial, which never does well, and, in my opinion, it may be dispensed with,—at any rate in any considerable quantity. An early spring flower of great beauty, which very few grow, and yet which everyone admires, is the Spring Snow-flake {Lencojuin.
