Dreer's autumn catalogue 1917 (1917) Dreer's autumn catalogue 1917 dreersautumncata1917henr Year: 1917 Snowdrops SciLLA Sibirica SNOWDROPS (Galanthus) The charming Snowdrop is the first of all flowers to herald the approach of spring. It can frequently be seen in bloom when the ground is white with snow, as it takes every advantage, and hastens to display its graceful snow-white bells before the winter has disappeared. In conjunction with Chionodoxas and Scilla Sibirica a matchless effect can be produced. As the bulbs are small they should be planted liberally in order to obtain immediate results. Banks, grassy slopes, edging or rock-work will suit all these bulbs. They should not be dis- turbed often if a fine display is desired. It is possible to grow these in pots in the house. A dozen bulbs will fill a 5-inch pot. They will not stand forcing, doing best in a low temperature. SciLLA Campanulata Single.
