SCILLA 1TALICA. 



This is a pleasing spring plant, producing 

 its delicate flowers in the months of April 

 and May. It is supposed to be a native of 

 Italy, (Portugal, according to Miller,) and 

 was found at Nice by Allioni. In England 

 it was cultivated in 1629, but is not by any 



stroyed in a severe winter, though not 



freely in light loamy soil.
