RARE SNOWDROPS FOR SALE BY TENDER<br />
G.nivalis<br />
Reserve Price<br />
'La Bohème'. One of our finest introductions; the whole snowdrop<br />
bathed in glowing lime-green and yellow light. There are five to eight<br />
distinct yellow lime-green parallel lines on the outer segments, a<br />
yellowish ovary and a darker inner segment marking like a cavalier<br />
moustache curling towards the ovary that embraces a distinct golden<br />
glow that intensifies and deepens with age. See illustration front<br />
cover. £100.00<br />
Poculiformis Group 'Swan Lake': a very beautiful and aptly named<br />
snowdrop, found by Cyril Lafong. It is both reliable and with most<br />
excellent qualities. See illustration p.49. £100.00<br />
G. plicatus<br />
'Old January': a seedling first noticed outside a side door at <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Green</strong>, flowering in mid to late January. A remarkably strong<br />
snowdrop with large leaves and good G. plicatus flowers that will<br />
eventually form a very distinctive clump. Named jointly after Old<br />
Januarie in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (The Merchant's Tale) and<br />
coincidently, The Old January of the Julian Calendar New Year.<br />
Offered here for the first time. £75.00
