This catalogue is valid until 1st April 2016 and cancels all previous
lists.
As there are never enough snowdrops to meet the demand, especially
of the recently named cultivars, please place your order as soon as
possible after receipt of your catalogue. We regret we are no longer
able to offer customers the option of "alternatives" as this causes
problems, which are very time consuming to sort out. Although there
is no short list in this year's catalogue several of the snowdrop
varieties on offer are restricted to strictly one bulb per customer.
However, despite these measures, we are afraid that every year there
are customers who will be disappointed at not receiving their order in
full.
We sell best quality snowdrop bulbs ''in the green'' dispatched after
flowering in March/April or sometimes earlier. Plants supplied are
believed to be correctly named.
-2Cash with order: Credit/Debit card (see order form) or ''limited
cheque'' (i.e. instead of filling in the exact amount on your cheque,
write between crossed lines ''Amount not to exceed...'' followed by
the maximum amount of your order including the cost of postage
and packing). We very much regret that we are no longer able to
accept cheques made out for the full amount and orders
accompanied with cheques made out in full will regretfully be
returned.
Please add £4.50 to all orders towards the cost of First Class postage
and packing (EU and Europe add £9.50). Cheques should be made
payable to North Green Snowdrops. You will be sent a detailed
account and receipt. Please use the order form and print your name
and address clearly. Please note that orders will be dealt with in
strict rotation and may be delayed if these instructions are not
followed.
Please note that there is no telephone number for North Green
Snowdrops.

Snowdrops like to grow in fairly deep, well-drained friable soil in sun
or light shade. When planting, a good dusting of bone meal and a
handful of extra coarse sharp sand around each bulb will help to keep
away disease.
If snowdrops are left undisturbed for too long they could begin to "go
back" which means fewer bulbs will flower and they could be more
prone to disease. In some cases, the whole clump may die out. They
should therefore be lifted about every three years. More frequent
lifting is recommended where there is no sign of increase. Clumps
should be carefully teased apart and replanted. A surface dressing of
bone meal should be given in early autumn and a thin mulch of garden
or mushroom compost applied in December will help improve the
look of the flowers.
One of the great pleasures in gardening is viewing snowdrops on a
warm day in winter; the sun at this time of year is very low in the sky
and can be blindingly bright. Remember therefore to plant your
snowdrops so that you can look at them with the sun behind you.
-4We are most grateful to Jim Almond, Matt Bishop, Ian Christie,
Brian Ellis, Eric Fisher, Doug Joyce, David King, Cyril Lafong, Rod
and Jane Leeds, Marianne Majerus, The National Collection of
Margaret and David MacLennan and Wol and Sue Staines for all their
help and for generously allowing us to use their lovely photographs.
A very big thank you to Steve Edwards who has again designed the
beautiful cover, Matt Bishop for proof reading and much good advice
and Rosie Steele for all her wonderful and invaluable help with our
catalogue over many years.

************
Front Cover: G. nivalis 'La Bohème'. See p.43.
Back Cover: G. 'Green Comet'. See p.32.
-51. Series Galanthus: leaves greyish (semi-glaucous or glaucescent),
flat against each other with their margins either flat (applanate), or
folded or rolled back (explicative or revolute). These species are
mainly confined to Europe.
G. nivalis: the Common Snowdrop naturalised in many parts of
Britain and native to much of Europe. The leaves are flat against each
other (applanate) at the base and the edges are flat or almost so. We
offer the following forms:
'Anglesey Abbey': this snowdrop was found by Graham Thomas at
Anglesey Abbey. The flowers show a strong tendency to
"poculiform" which means that the inner segments have little or no
green shading on them and are of a similar length to the outer ones,
giving the whole flower a remarkably white appearance against the
strong green leaves. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.84)
£10.00
'Art Nouveau': a delightful long-flowered, green-tipped snowdrop.
The segments are almost equal in length with a good inner green
marking. The flowers are supported on magnificent arching
shepherd's crook-like spathes. An outstanding snowdrop from the
same provenance as G. nivalis Poculiformis Group 'Angelique': a
treasured gift from Alan Street.
£30.00
'Blewbury Tart': a delightful, rather upright snowdrop found by
Alan Street in Blewbury, Oxfordshire. The outward facing flowers
hover like little green tartlets above the leaves. Curious but by no
means without great charm. See illustration p.49. (Snowdrops, (2001)
p.120) £12.50
-6'Chatterbox': an enchanting snowdrop offered here in our main list
for the first time. When in a clump the relatively small flowers all face
each other as if in a conversation and show an abundance of orangeyellow pollen when mature. The conspicuously long ovary is the same
length as the inner segments which are marked with two small green
triangles on either side of the sinus notch. See illustration p.7. £75.00
'Cinderella': a charming, small inverse poculiform snowdrop (where
the outer segments are shaped and marked like inner segments) with a
very dainty green-tipped flower reminding us of G.nivalis 'Fée
Clochette' although somewhat smaller in stature. Found growing in
woodland near Dundee by Ian Christie and originally named G.nivalis
'Tinkerbell'; a name already found to be in use and changed
thenceforth! See illustration p.7.
£90.00
'Dumpy Green': a very beautiful virescent selection, not dissimilar to
G. nivalis 'Prague Spring' (see below), but with a more rounded
flower, a more 'dumpy' appearance and without the two diffuse marks
on the inner segment. A late-flowering snowdrop of great quality. See
illustration p.8. £50.00
'Cornwood': amongst the green tipped snowdrops with apical
markings this is conspicuous as a plant of great quality and one that
flowers earlier than the others of this group. £15.00
'Flocon de Neige': one of the most beguiling double-flowered
snowdrops. Perfectly symmetrical flowers with six equally spaced,
all-white outer segments. Quite enchanting and most memorable,
especially when fully opened. Much loved at North Green. See
illustration p.11. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.114) £40.00

G. nivalis 'Dumpy Green' (see page 6)
G. nivalis Poculiformis Group 'Annielle' (see page 9)
-9'Haddon's Tiny': under this name we grow a delightful and
consistently small snowdrop with very narrow leaves. Growing at a
height of only 7-8cms this diminutive snowdrop would be particularly
suitable for planting in a trough or sink. Our stock came originally
from the late Netta Statham who obtained it from Norman Haddon.
£12.50
Poculiformis Group 'Angelique', P.C. (2007): introduced by Mark
Brown from the garden of Gloria and Yves Lebellegard and named
after their late daughter. One of the Poculiformis Group of
snowdrops all of which have inner and outer segments of more or
less equal length. This cultivar has evenly elongated inner segments
showing two distinct deep-green dots. A delightful mid-season
snowdrop. (Snowdrops, ( 2001) p.100)
£15.00
Poculiformis Group 'Annielle': a superb poculiform snowdrop, found
by Cyril Lafong, needing time to settle before showing its truly
wonderful qualities. See illustration p.8.
£90.00
'Prague Spring': one of our selected seedlings from seed originating
in the wood of a friend in Prague. A wonderful virescent flower with
two diffuse marks at the base of the inner segment. It was named to
celebrate 'The Prague Spring'. Later flowering but still earlier than G.
nivalis 'Dumpy Green'. A very desirable and beautiful snowdrop. See
illustration p.11.
£45.00
- 10 Sandersii Group 'Chatton': a very fine member of the golden
Sandersii Group with the usual yellow ovary and markings on the
inner segments but distinct from the others in that it reliably forms a
handsome clump. This snowdrop is an exceptionally good doer!
£75.00
'Sibbertoft White': ''a very lovely little all white snowdrop. This
charming albino can occasionally produce two very pale green dots
on the inner segment. Originally from the garden of Sibbertoft Manor
and distributed by Richard Nutt. '' as described in the catalogue of
North Green Snowdrops in 1998 when this snowdrop was first
offered. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.97)
£17.50
G. reginae-olgae: the first snowdrop to flower, usually in October or
November, and often before the leaves appear. The leaves show a
characteristic silver stripe down the centre. Prefers a sunny position.
G. reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis: the spring flowering subspecies of
the above. We offer the following selection:
'Blue Peter': this very floriferous snowdrop is remarkable for the
contrast between the very upright scapes, bearing long pointed
flowers and the leaves which lie flat on the ground at flowering time.
These dark blue-green leaves with a very strong silver-blue stripe give
an astonishing overall blueness to this plant, making it the bluestleaved snowdrop we know. The marking on the inner segment
reminds us of the perfect "Chinese Bridge" mark of G. 'Straffan'. One
bulb per customer. See illustration p.12.

G. reginae-olgae subsp. vernalis 'Blue Peter' (see page 10)
G. plicatus 'Diggory' (see page 13)
- 13 G. plicatus: a vigorous and variable species. The leaves have a
prominent central channel and their edges are strongly folded or
turned under (plicate). The markings on the inner segments are
extremely variable. We offer the following forms:
'Augustus': it is to the late Mrs Amy Doncaster and her very good
eye for spotting a good garden plant that we are indebted for this
lovely G. plicatus seedling. A robust, somewhat dumpy plant.
Attractive very wide leaves with a distinct broad silver channel. Later
flowering with large rounded flowers. Increases well. (Snowdrops,
(2001) p.152) £8.50
'Baxendale's Late': a reliably late-flowering G. plicatus which
blooms at the end of the season when most other snowdrops have
finished. A fairly vigorous plant of good substance to extend the
season. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.142) £5.00
'Bill Clark': another of the beautiful yellows from Wandlebury Ring,
Cambridge. Together with G. plicatus 'Wandlebury Ring', this distinct
snowdrop is taller than G. plicatus 'Wendy's Gold'. It was named
after the Warden, Bill Clark. The outer segments of the nicely shaped
flowers elegantly taper to a point and the inner segment marking is an
almost perfect solid yellow circle with a small notch over the sinus. A
lovely and very desirable snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.160)
£30.00
'Diggory' A.M. (2009): perennially one of the most desirable of all
snowdrops. The outer segments remain tucked under, even as the
flower matures and expands, giving this snowdrop its unique and
instantly recognisable shape. From Rosie Steele. See illustration p.12.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.147)
£30.00
- 14 'E. A. Bowles' A.M.(2012): unique among snowdrops this is the first
known poculiform G. plicatus, discovered by Michael Myers in the
garden of the late E. A. Bowles at Myddelton House and named after
him. Above the broad, upright, glaucous-green leaves is the crowning
glory of this magnificent snowdrop: a large, full flower with six pure
white, immaculate segments all of equal length. An outstanding
garden plant. See illustration p.15.
£55.00
'Eric Fisher': a stunning large 4×4 found by Eric Fisher in the
garden here at North Green in 2010. Certainly a very large G.
plicatus with long, broad leaves, reliably producing flowers with four
generous outer segments and a good green bold marking on the inner
segments. See illustration p.15.
£90.00
'Faith Stewart-Liberty': large, strongly ridged, widely spreading
outer segments and a mid-green inner segment marking, darkening
towards the tip. Found by Mark Brown in a Buckinghamshire garden
in the early 1980s and named after the owner. A highly desirable
snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.153)
£35.00
'Richard Nutt': this late-flowering snowdrop was especially chosen
by Margaret Owen to commemorate and celebrate the name of an old
friend and one of the greatest galanthophiles of the latter half of the
twentieth century. A lovely selected clone with all the natural beauty
and vigour of the species, introduced into cultivation by the late
Richard Nutt and originally found growing near Lake Abant in
Turkey many years ago. A freely clumping habit: always one of
Margaret's first considerations for a really good snowdrop, though
often neglected by others, makes this historic snowdrop so desirable.

G. plicatus 'Trymlet' (see page 17)
G. elwesii 'Deerslot' (see page 19)
- 17 'Three Ships' A.M. (2008): a most beautiful early-flowering
selection which, in the garden here, never fails to "come sailing by on
Christmas day"! It was found growing in deep leaf litter under an old
cork oak in the former garden of Henham Hall, Suffolk in the 1980s.
The house was demolished in the 1950s and the garden is now part of
a field, although we believe the cork oak remains. See
illustration p.16. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.151) £15.00
'Trymlet': selected from seedlings of G. plicatus 'Trym' by the late
Kathleen Beddington and named by Sue and Wol Staines. Both the
inner and outer segments have beautiful pale-green markings. A much
coveted snowdrop. See illustration p.16. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.163)
£35.00
'Vera Trum': exceedingly wide Veratrum-like leaves with very
upright scapes bearing large puckered flowers. The inner segments
are similar to those of G. plicatus 'Three Ships' which is not
surprising as they were found growing only a few feet apart. A plant
of quality. One bulb per customer. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.151)
£35.00
'Walker, Canada': there is a touch of mystery about this rather
special snowdrop from the garden of the late Richard Nutt. The wellproportioned flower has an X-shaped mark on the inner segment
curiously broader towards the long, narrow conical ovary. The
flower is born above plicate leaves on a short scape which slowly
lengthens as the season progresses, resulting in a large, distinct and
eye catching snowdrop. This is, in our opinion, the best snowdrop
inherited from the Richard Nutt legacy from his garden at Great
Barfield and has been very much admired by all his friends.
- 18 A nearby faded and barely legible label with the name "Walker,
Canada" is all that is known about this lovely snowdrop. One bulb
per customer. £40.00
'Wendy's Gold' A.M. (1966): perhaps the most vigorous 'yellow'
snowdrop. A fine flower with a striking golden ovary and the largest
yellow marking on the inner segment, of all the yellow snowdrops.
The degree of yellowness may sometimes vary to a pleasing yellowish
lime-green.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.159)
£15.00
2. Series Latifolii: leaves emerging either flat against each other
(applanate), or with the outer leaf rolled or wrapped round the inner
leaf (supervolute or convolute). Where flat (applanate) leaves either
grey (glaucous) or green, rarely in-between. The species in this series
are found mainly in Turkey and the Caucasus and are divided into
two Subseries.
2a Subseries Glaucaefolii: leaves grey.
G. elwesii: an extremely variable species with grey leaves, hooded at
the top and rolled or wrapped around each other at the base
(supervolute or convolute). This species now encompasses plants
grown for many years in gardens as G. caucasicus (sic.). We offer the
following forms:
- 19 'Brian Mathew' (syn. G127): an original selection from Brian
Mathew, given to Ray Cobb who later, with his approval named it
after him. A fine plant of good substance with large shapely flowers
on relatively short scapes and especially upright, strong blue-grey
leaves. The widely spaced outer segments allow the almost entire
green inner segment markings to be seen even when the flower is
closed. A most lovely plant albeit slow to increase. First offered by
North Green Snowdrops in 2008. See illustration p.22.
£30.00
'Cedric's Prolific': originally from the garden of the late Cedric
Morris at Benton End and grown for many years by Beth Chatto to
whom we are grateful for our stock. A remarkably distinct snowdrop
with leaves that end in an acute point. The flower has green tips and a
long, narrow, deep green V-shaped mark. A prolific snowdrop in
every way and an excellent plant for colonizing larger areas. Choice.
£8.50
'Deer Slot': a much coveted snowdrop originally from the garden of
the late Primrose Warburg and somewhat eccentric in that the deer
slot mark only appears on one of the inner segments and only when
the bulb is fully matured. The remaining segments have U-shaped to
heart-shaped markings in a rich deep green. A rare collector's item
and a stunning snowdrop even when it is not ''slotting''. This
snowdrop does not respond well to twin-scaling. One bulb per
customer. See illustration p.16. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.173)
£40.00
- 20 'Gabriel': a December-flowering snowdrop. Large well-shaped
flowers, somewhat claw-like but opening upwards with warmth to
form angelic wings. The single strong, green inner segment marking
reminds us of G. elwesii 'Mrs Macnamara'. An outstanding clone
which occasionally produces two scapes. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.174)
£15.00
'Galadriel': we are most grateful to Beth Chatto for this very fine,
later-flowering snowdrop. Stately flowers with a unique strong green
Y-mark extending halfway along the inner segment shading to a
bright yellowish-green towards the tail of the Y. The leaves are
distinctly pointed reminding us, somewhat, of G. elwesii 'Cedric's
Prolific' to which it is most probably related. A quite outstanding
snowdrop of real quality.
.
£17.50
'Godfrey Owen' F.C.C. (2011): this outstanding snowdrop has been
described as one of the most distinct snowdrop discoveries of recent
times. It is remarkable in that it has a double row of outer and inner
segments. When fully opened the symmetrical arrangement of the six
outer segments is exquisite. Found by the late Margaret Owen in the
mid 1990s and named after her late husband. See illustration p.25.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.205)
£25.00
'Green Eyes': of all the green-leaved cultivars this highly desirable
and outstanding snowdrop is considered to be, by far, the best. The
large elegantly shaped flowers on tall straight stems are held well
above the arching leaves. The usual green, V-shaped marking on the
inner segment is accompanied by two large, round, very distinct green
eyes. Another covetable treasure from Anglesey Abbey. One bulb per
costomer. See illustration p.21.

G. elwesii 'Brian Mathew' (see page 19)

- 23 Hiemalis Group 'Dorothy Foreman': a very desirable Decemberflowering snowdrop with shallow 'horizontal' outer segments. The
first known green leaved hiemalis! Named after David Foreman's late
mother. £45.00
'Jessica': one of the fine green-tipped snowdrops found by Phil
Cornish and named after his wife. Convergent heavy green lines on
the outer segments and strong X-shaped markings on the inner
segments. The smooth textured flowers are held well above the bold
arching leaves. See illustration p.53. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.191)
£10.00
'John Tomlinson': a fine large flowered G. elwesii with a broad,
olive-green, heart-shaped marking on the inner segment and
matching green tips on the outer segments. A plant of some quality
flowering from New Year onwards. One bulb per customer.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.175)
£22.50
'Jonathan': only limited information about this exceptional
snowdrop was available when the great monograph 'Snowdrops' was
written in which it was, unfortunately, only briefly mentioned
underneath the description for G. elwesii 'Grumpy'. Unlike G. elwesii
'Grumpy' the outer segments have green tips and the basal markings
on the inner segments are fused rather than separate, but the apical
heart-shaped marking is similar. However, the great glory of this
snowdrop is that the usual white of the inner segments is transformed
into a magnificent, golden-orange glow. This splendid snowdrop may
need to be well settled before these characteristics appear. It was
found in North Yorkshire by Michael Myers in 2000. See illustration
p.22. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.202)
£25.00
- 24 'Jubilee Green': found in the garden here at North Green this
snowdrop is distinct in having leaves of a striking lettuce-green. The
flower has a well defined X-shaped marking. 'Jubilee Green' was
named to commemorate twenty five years of North Green Snowdrops. See illustration p.21. £35.00
'Louise Ann Bromley': an earlyish flowering G. elwesii hybrid with
tall glaucous leaves and a very large, substantial flower (the record
holder for the largest flower in any snowdrop; the outer segment can
measure 50mm!). The inner segment has a wide bridge-shaped mark.
A very desirable and much admired plant from the garden of David
Bromley and named after his late sister. See illustration p.50.
£22.50
'Margaret Owen': Margaret herself with her usual eagle-eye and
ever exacting criteria for an outstanding plant, homed-in on a stand of
this fine snowdrop during a visit to Ray Cobb's Nottinghamshire
garden. It was considered to be a seedling from the nearby clump of
G. elwesii 'Brian Mathew' which has a similar inner segment marking
with little or no sinus notch and a large very pronounced V- shaped
green mark. However the most wonderful defining attribute of this
mid to late-flowering snowdrop is that it looks magnificent in a clump
and it was much admired and coveted by all who attended the
farewell party for Margaret at ''The Patch'', when it was in full bloom.
One bulb per customer. See illustration p.25. £75.00

G. elwesii 'Remember, Remember' (see page 27)
- 27 Miss Nancy Lindsay's collected form: we are most grateful to
Chris Brickell for this historical plant with a very special provenance.
With her remarkable eye for a perfect plant this snowdrop was
collected by Miss Nancy Lindsay in Turkey many years ago and
given by her, to Chris Brickell and affectionately referred to here, at
North Green, as 'Miss Lindsay's Gift'. This is a most wonderful
snowdrop: extremely vigorous, tall and very upright with all the
magic of an original species. There is a very good photograph of a
similar plant growing in Primrose Warburg's garden in Snowdrops,
(2001) p35 plate 21. (Prmrose Warburg was Miss Nancy Lindsay's
plant executor). Limited stock. See illustration p.26.
£50.00
'Mrs Macnamara' (syn. 'Milkwood'): this excellent, early-flowering
snowdrop originated from the mother-in-law of Dylan Thomas: Mrs
Macnamara (please note correct spelling). A tall, stately plant
flowering in December when there are few other large snowdrops in
bloom. This is the favourite of all our early-flowering cultivars at
North Green. Outstanding. See illustration p.26. (Snowdrops, (2001)
p.177) £12.50
'Remember, Remember' (syn. 'November Merlin'): our beautiful
November-flowering snowdrop probably derived from one of the
Hiemalis Group with a deeply green shaded inner segment reminding
us of G. 'Merlin'. Often in flower by the 5th November. This snowdrop
can be somewhat top heavy, therefore best suited to a sheltered
position in full sun. See illustration p.26. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.192)
£35.00
'Rev. Hailstone': a large and robust early-flowering hybrid with
exceptionally long flowers. The outer segments are particularly
- 28 narrow and about twice the length of the inner segments which have
distinct pale-green, V-shaped markings. A rather special snowdrop
originating from Anglesey Abbey.
£17.50
'Selborne Green Tips': this delightful, early-January flowering,
snowdrop was found over thirty years ago by the late David and
Ruby Baker in the village of Selborne, Hampshire, but is still a
surprisingly rare plant. The outer segment is green tipped and there
are two separate bold green markings on the inner segment. With
regular division and good cultivation this snowdrop will reliably
produce two perfectly formed flowers from a single scape. The bulbs
you receive from us may not show two heads, having only just been
divided. As usual patience is required! (Snowdrops, (2001) p.198)
£15.00
'Sickle': a stunning, tall plant with broad arching leaves and spathe
that give this snowdrop its name. Disproportionately long outer
segments that rise up in warmth to show the unique inner segment
markings. Slow to increase but a snowdrop of refined beauty.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.189)
£15.00
'White Perfection': this is a perfect example of a Poculiform Group
snowdrop, growing to 15cm tall with very beautifully rounded
flowers. Unlike some other poculiform G. elwesii, 'White Perfection'
remains beautifully upright and, as a clump, will increase slowly.
£45.00
'Yvonne Hay' (syn. G. elwesii 'Maximus'): we are grateful to the
late Harry Hay for this lovely snowdrop of huge proportions, which
originated in his garden at Margery Hall Pig Farm, Surrey and which
he later named after his wife. The flowers are described as being ''of
- 29 respectable dimensions''; Aaron Davis, described it as a ''Monster''. It
has very broad leaves and huge bulbs which do not respond well to
twin scaling. In a warm room the outer segments rise up and reveal a
large and perfect inverted heart-shaped mark on the inner segments.
A very distinct snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.190).
£30.00
G. woronowii: broad glossy-green leaves emerging with outer leaf
rolled or wrapped around the inner leaf (supervolute or convolute),
often forming large clumps. Inner segment with single marking
towards the apex which is distinctly smaller than that of G.ikariae.
Flowering in main season. We offer the following form:
'Elizabeth Harrison' A.M. (2012): Ian Christie's newly discovered
and already much talked about snowdrop from Scotland. This is the
first ever G. woronowii to be found with distinctly yellow marked
flowers and in 2011 realised the highest price then recorded for a
snowdrop! One bulb per customer. See illustration p.35.
£90.00
Hybrids - Single
'Benhall Beauty' (×valentinei): we are most grateful to the late Mrs
Amy Doncaster for this most beautiful snowdrop. Originally one of
two seedlings from the garden of "Jock" Gray at Benhall,
Saxmundham, Suffolk and named by E.A.Bowles, who was a close
friend. The other snowdrop 'Benhall Seedling' may no longer be in
cultivation. In his book, "Seven Gardens or Sixty Years of
Gardening", E.B.Anderson gives the history of these two snowdrops
together with G. 'John Gray' and G. 'Mighty Atom'. A superb and
very desirable plant. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.250)

- 30 'Cliff Curtis': this snowdrop has a very rounded flower with a
delightful and delicate scent. The deep claw-shaped outer segment
has particularly pronounced shoulders whilst the inner segment is
deeply grooved with a large sinus notch and 'tear-drop' mark on
either side and very pale shading to the base. The snowdrop looks
wonderful in a clump. A lovely selection from the garden of Cliff
Curtis and was named in 2003. Late-flowering. See illustration p.50.
£30.00
'Cowhouse Green' (×valentinei): a tallish, virescent snowdrop with
pale green shading on the outer segments and lovely soft diffuse
markings to the inner segments. We are grateful to Mark Brown for
this charming snowdrop. Requires careful cultivation. One bulb per
customer. See illustration p.35. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.276) £25.00
'Curly' (×valentinei): an intriguing hybrid found in the early 1960s
by Richard Nutt and Herbert Ransom in the garden at Hyde Lodge,
Gloucestershire. The narrow leaves are unique in that they are
strongly re-curved on first appearing and remain so giving this
beautiful snowdrop its name. The very fragrant, green-tipped flowers
have a particularly fine X-shaped mark with paler shading to the base.
Late-flowering. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.277) £8.50
'Ding Dong': a fine upstanding late January-flowering snowdrop with
distinctively long, very slender outer segments; claw-like towards the
tip. The two-tone inner segment markings and ovary are of a similar
olive-green. This snowdrop can produce three wide glaucous leaves
when well grown and often two scapes. Named by Alan Street of
Avon Bulbs. See illustration p.46. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.251)
£18.50
- 31 'Dodo Norton' (×valentinei): a diminutive hybrid which measures no
more than 8.5cm high; a very dwarf G. 'Mighty Atom' derivative with
shouldered outer segments. Discovered in the famous ditch at East
Lambrook Manor (the home and garden of the late Margery Fish in
the 1950s) and named after the wife of a previous owner.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.231)
£20.00
'Early to Rize': discovered in the garden here at North Green. From
the characteristics of its leaves, this snowdrop is possibly a hybrid of
G. elwesii Hiemalis Group and G. rizehensis. This fine snowdrop is
conspicuous for its early-flowering which consistently starts well
before Christmas and continues into the New Year. See illustration
p.35. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.244)
£30.00
'Fieldgate Fugue': found growing amongst a clump of G. 'John
Gray', by Colin Mason, in his Warwickshire garden. This snowdrop
reminds us somewhat of G. 'John Gray' but has a proportionately
larger ovary, a chubbier flower and is generally of more substance. A
beautiful snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.159)
£22.50
'Fieldgate Superb' (syn. 'Fieldgate B'): first offered for sale in our
1996 catalogue. A most lovely G.plicatus hybrid from Colin Mason
with a large well proportioned flower of good weight and substance.
Late flowering and usually with double scapes. See illustration p 36.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.252)
£25.00
- 32 'Glenchantress': the large flowers of this bewitching snowdrop have
six strong lines towards the apex of the outer segments and the inner
segments are of a startling dense-green colour. From Sue and Wol
Staines, Glenchantry. See illustration p.36.
£55.00
'Green Arrow' (×valentinei): a tall upright flowering snowdrop that
emerges, remarkably like an arrow, out of the soil in late spring. The
flower is somewhat stocky with a proportionately large ovary on a
very short pedicel.
£15.00
'Green Comet': a huge snowdrop and probably one of the very finest
to have originated in the garden at North Green. It was found
growing close to a clump of G. elwesii 'Comet' and G. ×allenii; G.
elwesii 'Jubilee Green' was not far away. This stately snowdrop with a
large weighty flower resembling G. elwesii 'Comet', is held by a
particularly long pedicel well above the strikingly tall, usually three,
lettuce green leaves. Unlike G. elwesii 'Comet' it does not have green
markings on the outer segments. One bulb per customer. See
illustration p.35 and back cover.
£50.00
Green-leaved hybrid ex R. D. Nutt: under this name is grown an
apple-green-leaved snowdrop considered to be an hybrid between G.
woronowii and G. rizehensis that was introduced by the late Richard
Nutt from Hopa in N. E. Turkey. This is a very desirable rarity and of
great botanical interest: first offered in our 2015 catalogue.
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.245)
£55.00
- 33 'Green of Hearts': this stunningly beautiful snowdrop occurred in
the garden here in the late 1990s and closely resembles our Award of
Merit G. 'Trumps'. The darker green and more obviously heartshaped markings on the outer segments and the overall substance of
the flowers (reminding us of G. 'Anne of Geierstein') dispell any
confusion between this and G. 'Trumps'. A rare, highly refined and
scarce snowdrop which we have only offered in our catalogue once
before. One bulb per customer. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.282)
£65.00
'Hobson's Choice' (×valentinei): a robust, vigorous selection and
probably an hybrid between G. plicatus and G. nivalis. Found in the
grounds of Anglesey Abbey by Richard Ayres. A good snowdrop.
£10.00
'John Gray' F.C.C. (1996): a very beautiful early snowdrop The
flowers are about 40mm long, strongly marked with green on their
inner segments. E.B. Anderson in his book ''Seven Gardens'' tells of
visiting the garden of the late ''Jock'' Gray of Benhall, Saxmundham
'' I found two wood labels marked XXX against the remains of snowdrop
foliage. I brought these bulbs back to Lower Slaughter and one bore
an outstandingly large flower among the earlies and this I named
'John Gray' in memory of a delightful friend. The late Sir Frederick
Stern said it was the finest early snowdrop he had ever seen. I think
the other one, but of this I am not quite sure, is the dwarf, largeflowered one that I named 'Mighty Atom'.'' (Snowdrops,
(2001) p.247) £8.00
- 34 'Kildare' (×valentinei): this large-flowered, almost straight-spathed
and often double-scaped snowdrop was found by the late David and
Ruby Baker in Ireland in 1995. However, the wonderful soft-green
glow surrounding this snowdrop from the Emerald Isle is its greatest
charm. The long slim outer segments are marked with several thin
green lines following the veins, with a background of paler green
shading towards the base. The very fine inner segment marking is
solid olive-green at the apex shading to a paler green at the base. See
illustration p.54. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.279) £18.50
'Lapwing' (×valentinei), (syn. 'William Ball No 2'): an easily
recognisable snowdrop discovered by Phil Cornish. The somewhat
triangular shaped flower is held on a long pedicel with a distinctive
and gently shaded cross wings marking on the inner segment. A
reliable and rewarding snowdrop. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.253)
£14.00
'Lord Lieutenant': standing stiffly to attention, a poise unique
among snowdrops, the flowers of this hybrid hold themselves at
forty five degrees to the scapes on particularly short pedicels. Widely
opening outer segments reveal fine broad X shaped-marks on the
inner segments. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.159) £25.00
'Magnet' A.M. (1997), (×valentinei): " ...of garden varieties G.
'Magnet' is one of the best ... it has a tall stalk, and the outer segments
are large and spreading but not exceptionally broad. Its great
distinction and charm are due to an unusually long and slender
pedicel, which carries the flower out from the spathe in a very
pleasing curve. The pedicel is so slender that it reminds me of
Dierama pulcherrimum , for they both resemble the fine silk gut on a

that it is easily recognised even from a distance. To add to these
virtues it has a very good constitution which cannot be claimed for
many of the garden forms". E.A.Bowles. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.235)
£3.50
'Mother Goose': the most exciting snowdrop ever to have originated
here in the garden at North Green. The whiteness of the flowers is
attractively complemented by the bluish-grey leaves. However the
most remarkable feature of this truly beautiful snowdrop is the
astonishingly radiant egg-yellow inner segment apical marking and
strong yellow shading towards the ovary. The silken pedicel together
with the base of the ovary are wonderfully highlighted in gold. On
first seeing G. 'Mother Goose' one galanthophile visitor here was
heard to ask for sunglasses! This is a golden treasure and was a fitting
snowdrop with which to celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of North
Green Snowdrops. One bulb per customer. See illustration p.39.
£90.00
'Peardrop': an easily recognized, aptly named, mid-season snowdrop
with quite a substantial flower for a not particularly tall plant. It was
selected by Cliff and Joan Curtis and distributed from their garden in
Hacconby, Lincolnshire. See illustration p.50.
£20.00
'Primrose Warburg' P.C. (2007), (×valentinei): one of the most
coveted of all snowdrops. This super G. plicatus hybrid has a good
strong yellow marking on the inner segment and yellowish-green
ovary. The origin of this snowdrop is something of a mystery,
although it is known to have been grown in the garden of the late
- 38 Primrose Warburg. It has been named by her friends to commemorate
this great plantswoman who did so much to kindle interest in
snowdrops. Repays careful cultivation. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.266)
£20.00
'S. Arnott' F.C.C. (1991), (×valentinei): as E.A.Bowles points out, it
is not certain or perhaps even likely that this fine plant was raised by
Samuel Arnott, it was however sent by him to Mr. Elwes of
Colesbourne who distributed it as "Arnott's Seedling". It was given
an Award of Merit, when shown by the Giant Snowdrop Company in
1951, under the more appropriate name of G. 'S. Arnott'. A tall and
sturdy plant, it has a large flower with a very deep green, heartshaped mark. After years of cultivation it continues to be one of the
finest and boldest of all snowdrops. "Ten thousand flowers of this
delightful plant at the Giant Snowdrop Company, Hyde Lodge, as
illustrated in one of their catalogues, must have been a sight never to
be forgotten". In the sun the outer segments of the flowers rise up
and it has a wonderful scent! (Snowdrops, (2001) p.238)
£3.50
'Spindlestone Surprise' A.M.(1998), (×valentinei): a lovely yellow
hybrid which reminds us somewhat of G. 'Primrose Warburg' though
quite distinct when they are grown near to each other. It is a stronger
growing snowdrop and generally considered to be a better garden
plant. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.275)
£20.00
'The Whopper'(×hybridus): an exceptional Irish snowdrop from
Primrose Hill, Lucan. This extraordinary Merlinesque snowdrop,
resembling an earlier flowering G. 'Cicely Hall', is remarkably large
and aptly named.
£30.00

G. 'Trumpolute' (see page 41)
G. 'Trumps' (see page 41)
G. 'Wasp' (see page 41)
- 41 'Trumpolute' (×hybridus): the first significant hybrid between G.
plicatus 'Trym' and G. elwesii to have convolute leaves and flowers
reminding us of both G. 'Trumps' and G. plicatus 'Trym'. The
distinctly flattish outer segments have a bold V-shaped mark towards
the apex and a paler oval-shaped mark towards the base but this mark
can vary until the plant is established. An historic breakthrough which
occurred in the garden at North Green in 2001. An exceedingly rare
snowdrop. One bulb per customer. See illustration p.40.
£65.00
'Trumps' A.M. (2011): we are delighted to be able to offer bulbs of
this beautiful early-flowering snowdrop which was spotted in the
garden here at North Green by Matt Bishop in the late 1990s.
Charming heart-shaped markings on both the inner and outer
segments. It is closely related to G. 'Green of Hearts' but flowering a
little earlier. See illustration p.40. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.238)
£25.00
'Wasp': probably the most aptly named snowdrop of all from
Veronica Cross. Swarm-like in the clump at a distance. The flowers
hover on fine pedicels with long narrow wing-like outer segments and
narrow tube-like inner segments with markings suggesting a striped
thorax! Not necessarily considered a "classic beauty" but definitely a
classic snowdrop and one with which we could certainly not live
without, here at North Green. See illustration p.40. (Snowdrops,
(2001) p.271) £30.00
- 42 Hybrids - Double
'Ballerina': Phil Cornish's superb dwarf double snowdrop considered
to be one of the loveliest of all the doubles. When fully mature the
flowers appear so full of segments as to almost form a pompom.
Similar to, but distinct from, G. 'Mrs Wrightson's Double'.
Unfortunately this snowdrop is very slow to increase and we find that
it does not respond to twin scaling. We offer a few bulbs from
divisions from our clumps in the garden. Scarce.
One bulb per
customer. (Snowdrops, (2001) p.302) £35.00
'Ailwyn': the most beautiful of all the double snowdrops that include
G. elwesii in their ancestry. It appeared at Anglesey Abbey in 1994
and soon acquired the name of Ailwyn after Lord Fairhaven
(Snowdrops, (2001) p.304)
£35.00
'Mrs. Wrightson's Double': a very full-flowered, grey-leaved,
weighty ''double'' from Washfield Nursery. A very desirable and
much coveted snowdrop in short supply. See illustration p.53.

- 43 RARE SNOWDROPS FOR SALE BY TENDER
G.nivalis
Reserve Price
'La Bohème'. One of our finest introductions; the whole snowdrop
bathed in glowing lime-green and yellow light. There are five to eight
distinct yellow lime-green parallel lines on the outer segments, a
yellowish ovary and a darker inner segment marking like a cavalier
moustache curling towards the ovary that embraces a distinct golden
glow that intensifies and deepens with age. See illustration front
cover. £100.00
Poculiformis Group 'Swan Lake': a very beautiful and aptly named
snowdrop, found by Cyril Lafong. It is both reliable and with most
excellent qualities. See illustration p.49.
£100.00
G. plicatus
'Old January': a seedling first noticed outside a side door at North
Green, flowering in mid to late January. A remarkably strong
snowdrop with large leaves and good G. plicatus flowers that will
eventually form a very distinctive clump. Named jointly after Old
Januarie in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (The Merchant's Tale) and
coincidently, The Old January of the Julian Calendar New Year.
Offered here for the first time. £75.00
- 44 'The Dragon': this most extraordinary and quite outstanding
snowdrop should not be confused with G. plicatus 'Castle Green
Dragon' which is a totally different plant. Strongly textured, widely
spaced outer segments reveal the remarkable inner segments. The
very well defined, deep sinus notch closely follows the bold Xshaped mark. But the most breath-taking feature for devoted
growers is the gymnastic upturning of the positively frilly tips of the
inner segments on either side of the sinus notch. Yet another Scottish
treasure found by Ian Christie. See illustration p.45.
£120.00
G. elwesii
'Big Bertha': a large-flowered snowdrop, as its name implies, with
distinct, widely splayed leaves writhing upon the ground in contrast
to the very uprightly held flowers and scapes. The flowers have a
particularly rounded-appearance and green tips to the outer segments.
An early to mid-season snowdrop selected by Gill Richardson. See
illustration p.45.
£90.00
'Bumble Green': an apt name for this delightful, well-shaped,
snowdrop from the stable of Sue and Wol Stains. A very lovely earlyflowering snowdrop in bloom well before Christmas with an
additional bonus of handsome, variable green tips on the outer
segments. Highly covetable. See illustration p.46.

profile to the lovers of the genus. An exceptionally long, narrow
ovary supports, at best, a perfectly heart-shaped flower. The outer
segments airily embrace the inner segments finely enclosing them at
the apex, giving the whole flower an open basket-like feel. An
extraordinary new introduction from Anglesey Abbey. See illustration
