I see that you've received great help with the others, although I think that number three is Maianthemum canadense (Wild Lily-of-the-Valley) as DW suggested. It appears from your pic that it is a four part flower as opposed to a six part, which it would have to be to be a Smilacina (False Sol. Seal). K.
