. Dreer's autumn catalog of bulbs : plants, shrubs, and seeds for fall planting. Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Bulbs (Plants) Seeds Catalogs; Nurseries (Horticulture) Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. Flowers from ^ulhs—Springes Messengers in the Garden Even before the last of the snow has melted the little Snowdrops lure us into the garden as they bravely lift their white bells above the remaining snow. Winter Aconite too with its bright yellow bloom often blooms as early as the Snowdrops. While these are still in full bloom the showy little Chionodoxa or Glory of the Snow lifts its bright blue fl'owers above the rich green foliage. The earliest of the Crocus that brighten the garden are followed shortly by Scillas, Grape Hyacinths, and Giant Crocus. Soon afterwards the Fritillaria and Lily of the Valley make their debut with Anemone, Calochortus, Erythronium, Leucojum, and Rannunculus to succeed them. Giant Poppy-Flowered Anemones Few gardeners realize that these are quite easy to grow in the garden by planting the bulbs in November and covering the soil with leaves, straw, or long manure when winter sets in in earnest. A box with top and bottom removed sunk half way into the soil around the planting will give an added winter protection. Put a pane of glass over the top and a thick burlap bag when it is very cold. This little cold frame is allowed to remain vmtil the plants are safe against severe spring frosts when it may be taken up. "Dreer's Bulb Hints" give full directions for growing indoors.
