SCILLA. 



Sibirica. {Amcena C7' Pnecox.) One of our most beautiful hardy spnn^ 

 bulbs, producing in profusion masses of exquisite rich blue flowers almost 

 before the snow has disappeared. If grown in masses, their flowers fairly 

 carpet the ground; and if grown v/ith Snowdrops and Crocus, for contrast, 

 the effect is magnificent. They should be largely planted as undergrowth 

 in Hyacinth bed?, etc. Grown in pots they may be had in bloom from Christ- 

 mas until April. {See cut.) 3 fcr 5c., 15c. per doz., 75c. per 100, $6.00 per
