HYACINTHUS AND SCIIiI.AS. 



Will you inform me whether Hyacin- 

 thua amethystinus and H. azureus are 

 of any value comraerciallyf Can they 

 be nsed for cut flowers, and if so, what 

 treatment do they require f Also tell 

 me about Scilla hyaciathoides, the tall, 

 liglit blue variety! H. H. G. 



Hyacinthus amethystinus and H. 

 azureus are of little commercial value. 

 They make interesting rockery plants 

 and are good for naturalizing. For cut 

 flower purposes they are of little service. 

 Scilla hyacinthoides is a useful plant 

 for naturalizing in woodlands, or along 

 the edge of shrubberies in partial shade. 

 rt succeeds best where the soil is natu- 

 rally moist. While the spikes are quite 

 robust when the bulbs are well estab- 

 lished, it is hardly a flower I should 

 care to recommend for cutting. For 

 massing effects in woodlands, it is, how- 

 ever, fine. C. W. 



VINCA MINOR. 



Is there any sale for Vinca minor? 



R. F. 



There is quite a large sale for Vinca 

 minor. It is much used in cemeteries 

 for covering grave lots, for which it is 

 the finest evergreen plant we have of 

 unquestioned hardiness. It is also a 

 splendid plant for covering banks, even 

 when quite steep. It is good, also, for 

 massing in woodlands or groves and will 

 thrive under unfavorable conditions, 

 where grass and about every other herb 

 will fail. It can be planted with suc- 

 cess during any moist weather in spring, 

 summer or fall.. It may be propagated 

 either by cuttings or by root division, 

 the latter being the easier method.
