SCILLA. 



Siberica, Amoena or Praecox. Among our most 



beautiful hardy Spring 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 with Snowdrops 

 and Crocuses, for contrast, the effect is magnificent. They 

 should be largely planted as undergrowth in Hyacinth 

 beds, etc. down in pots they may be had in bloom from 

 Christmas until April. (See cut.) 4c. each; 25c. per doz.; 

 $1.25 per 100; $ 7.00 per 1,000. (If by mail, add \y.per 

 100 for postage . ) 

 Bifolia. Most beautiful bright blue flowers borne on short 

 spikes; these should be extensively planted; they are also 

 fine for forcing. 4c. each; 25c. per doz.; $1.50 per 100; 

 $8.00 per i,coo. (If by mail, add ly. per 100 for 

 postage.) 

 Campanulata. (Wood Hyacinth.) Flowers borne on tall spikes, 

 one to two feet high. Each flower measures nearly one inch across 

 and droops gracefully, per- 

 fectly hardy, also fine for 

 pot culture.
