	Galanthus species or cultivar			Description			Price per bulb
	Galanthus ‘Alison Hilary’			A distinct and stunning snowdrop selected 1996 by Joe Sharman from a mixed colony at the former Backhouse garden at Sutton Court . The outer segments are slim and strongly clawed towards the base, whilst the inner segments are not flared at the apex. An unusual feature. Good H or diffuse X mark.			£15.00
	Galanthus x allenii			SCENTED – A flower of good proportions with characteristic strong scent of bitter almonds. Unlike any other snowdrop the leaves are pewter-coloured, the outer leaf being wrapped round the inner at the base and short at flowering time. Thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid between G. monosticus and G. ikariae			£10.00
	Galanthus ‘ Anglesey Not Galatea’			This originates from Lord Fairhavens private garden at Anglesey Abbey. He was an avid collector in the 1950’s, and this form is different to the current G. galatea in circulation. It was identified as being distinct by John Sales, former Garden advisor to The National Trust. It has a longer pedicel than G. galatea and the ovary shape differs, amongst other variations.			£10.00
	Galanthus ‘Atkinsii’			The true form originates from James Atkins of Painswick, dating from 1860’s. Two clones in existence (G.Atkinsii which is shapely and James Backhouse which is deformed) Easy to grow, flowers mid January.			£4.00
	Galanthus ‘Barbara’s hybrid’			This a tall and robust hybrid from Netta Statham’s famous garden at Erway. It is early flowering with separate marks on the inner segments. Named by Cliff Curtis.			£10.00
	Galanthus ‘Benhall Beauty’			Originally from the garden of John Gray at Benhall, Saxmundham, and named by E.A.Bowles. A tall plant with long elegant flowers and a blue tinge to it’s glaucous foliage. It is likely to be an elwesii hybrid, owing to applanate foliage which shows a hint of marginal folding and distinctly hooded apices.			£12.50
	Galanthus ‘Bess’			A beautiful large and vigorous clone which Daphne Chappell selected from the former garden of Helen Milford , and named after the late Bess Milford. The inner segments are longitudinally incurved, and show a broad V mark that is slightly turned up at the end of both arms.			£15.00
Galanthus ‘Bill Bishop’			This is an early flowering cultivar, of the G. Mighty Atom type. When the flower is expanded it is readily identified by its enormous, almost disproportionately longer outer segments. This actually makes the plant extremely elegant.			£15.00
	Galanthus ‘Cordelia’			Greatorex double. One of the taller members of the group that is not well known. It is a regular double, whose outermost whorl of inner segments is rarely aberrant. The markings on immature plants are com pletely different to the fully grown specimen.			£9.00
	Galanthus ‘Cowhouse Green’			This outstanding cultivar was found in a mixed colony of nivalis and plicatus at Susan Cowdy’s garden, Rushmere, Bucks in the late 80’s. It is a fairly tall snowdrop with a lovely pale diffuse inner segment marking. It also has pale green shading over the apical half of the outside segments. Slow to increase.			£30.00
	Galanthus ‘Desdemona’			One of the larger Greatorex clones. It is a relatively large flowered irregular double, most strongly distinguished by the frequent appearance of a third leaf on a single shoot. It is also unusual in being the only double of this type to occasionally have four perfect outer segments.			£9.00
	Galanthus ‘Dionysus’			A Greatorex double and historically confusing. The modern stock is thought to originate from R.D.Trotter. Occasionally will throw single or semi-double flowers.			£3.50
	Galanthus ‘Ermine House’	NEW		An excellent regular double with proportionately long outer segments. It usually shows separate apical and basal inner segments.			£15.00
	Galanthus ‘Faringdon Double’			The earliest double snowdrop to flower. This snowdrop sometimes flowers at Christmas. Found by Ruby and David Baker at Faringdon Oxon. The large flower has regular inner segments with a bold heart shaped marking diffused towards the ovary.			£9.50
	Galanthus ‘Fieldgate Prelude’	NEW		From Colin Mason, a superb early snowdrop from Mrs MacNamara. The inner markings diffuse away up to the ovary.			£25.00
	Galanthus ‘Framlingham Double’			RARE. This snowdrop originates from the collection at Anglesey Abbey, but it bears many similarities with G. Forge double. The most notable is that it demonstrates the classic morphology of the immature floral phase, and as with G. Forge double, this has be com e com pletely dominant. The mature-phase flowers are not seen. It is petite and is one of the smallest double hybrids.			£25.00
	Galanthus ‘Galatea’			The modern stock of this plant is worth growing, owing to the large shapely flowers. Similar to G.Magnet, but the v mark on the inner segment of G.Galatea is almost a perfect right angle (that of G.Magnet is of 70 degrees). Also usually shows a kink or bend in the pedicel behind the ovary.			£5.50
	Galanthus ‘Ginns’ Imperati’			STRONG FRAGRANCE. Collected in central Italy by Robert Gathorne-Hardy. Similar to G. S. Arnott and G. Brenda Troyle. Makes a good strong garden plant.			£10.50

	Galanthus ‘Hobson’s Choice’			Prolific snowdrop found at Anglesey Abbey, and named after a local horse dealer. According to folklore, it was rather to luck as to whether one hired a ‘good or useless horse from him.’ Hence the enduring term ‘Hobson’s Choice’.			£12.50
	Galanthus ‘Imbolc’			Although from the Mighty Atom stable this cultivar is distinguished by the separate basal marks usually found on the inner segments in addition to the typical broad V at the apex. Imbolc was the Celtic festival of Spring, named by the late Primrose Warburg, having been given it by E.B. Anderson.			£15.00
	Galanthus ‘Ivy Cottage Corporal’			From Michael Broadhurst. The first of his Ivy Cottage series. This fine hybrid has two fine Vs (just like an army corporal), on the inner segments.			£35.00

	Galanthus ‘ Kingston Double’			Discovered in the early 1970’s by Elizabeth Parker – Jervis. A fine double snowdrop, stands out in the garden for it’s size and whiteness. This is as a result of the enlarged and misshapen outermost whorl of inner segments. The marking on the inner segment is an olive green apical V.			£12.50
	Galanthus ‘Lady Beatrix Stanley’			Possibly from the garden of Barbara Buchanan who brought bulbs from her mother’s garden (Lady Beatrix Stanley) at Sibbertoft. Small to medium in height, neat and tightly double. Increases quickly.			£6.00
	Galanthus ‘Lapwing’			A truly excellent and distinctive cultivar. The triangular flowers are held over bluish glaucus foliage. The long pedicel significantly exceeds the length of the spathe. This plant is distinctive as it exhibits relatively wide inner segments and a broad x-shaped marking, the arms are slightly paler than the legs. It was found near the village of Lapworth in 1997.			£30.00

Orders for 2012 are not able to be placed until our 2012 list is published in December 2011.

For naming and descriptions of Galanthus we have followed the excellent book, ‘Snowdrops, A Monograph of Cultivated Galanthus’ by Matt Bishop, Aaron Davis and John Grimshaw, published by The Griffin Press. A new edition of this book is due to be published soon.

Whilst every endeavour is made to supply orders placed, no guarantee can be given, as crop failures do happen for a variety of reasons. In such instances, a full credit to the chosen method of payment will be applied.

Whilst it is Harveys Garden Plants intention to supply flowering size bulbs where possible, occasionally smaller, but mature (i.e. fully skinned bulbs) are all that we have available at the time of ordering. If a customer requires flowering size bulbs only, this should be stated on the order, or at the time of ordering (telephone or email).

Orders are generally despatched in early March. Please send a limited cheque (i.e. do not fill in the exact amount, but write ‘Amount not to exceed ……..’) We can then fill in the amount once we have established how many of the desired snowdrops are available. Alternatively send your credit card details. Please note we cannot accept Amex or Diners Club.
