Scilla Sibirica. (Amoena or Praecux.) Most beautiful hardy spring bulbs, producing in pro- 

 fusion masses of exquisite rich blue flowers almost before the snow has disappeared. If grown 

 in masses, their flowds fairly carpet the ground; and if grown with Snowdrops and Crocus, for 

 contrast, the effect is magnificent. They should be largely planted as undergrowth in Hyacinth 

 beds, etc. Grown in pots they may be had in bloom from Christmas until April. (See cut.)

SNOWDROPS. 



In the early spring months there is nothing more 

 beautiful than a sheet of the snowy, graceful blossoms 

 of the Snowdrop. Beds and effects of surpassing 

 beauty may be arranged with Snowdrops in the centre 

 edged with bright blue Scilla Sibirica, or Chiono- 

 doxias. or by intermingling them. In beds of Tulips 

 and Hyacinths, Snowdrops are very effective be- 

 tween the lines; they flower while these bulbs are just 

 moving the surface, and when the flowers are over 

 there remains an elegant groundwork of green foliage. 

 Used as a permanent edging, and in masses on the 

 edges of lawns, nestling in the grass, they look charm- 

 ing. Snowdrops are easily flowered in pots during 

 the winter.

 the Violet. It is one of our earliest spring flowers, 

 with white blossoms distinctly tipped green, hand- 

 some in outline and prized for bouquets. They 

 should be grown in quantities in the borders or in 

 spots on the edges of shrubbery, w^ere they are 

 beautifully effective, and when established produce 

 enormous quantities of flowers. They can also be 

 slowly forced in pots for winter bloom. Largest
