Ameena, Sibirica or | 
Precox. Among the most | 
beautiful hardy Spring bulbs, pro- 
ducing in profusion masses of ex- 
quisite rich blue flowers almost |

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. Grown in pots they may be had in 
bloom from Christmas until April. (See
