SCILLA 



A beautiful class of small bulbs, with pink, white and blue flowers, followmg the 

 Crocus in season; are entirely hardy and need not be disturbed oftener than once in 

 three or four years. They will thrive in almost any garden soil, and should be planted 

 in October or November, about two inches deep, and in clumps or masses, placing the little 

 bulbs about an inch apart. The flowers appear in spring before the leaves, and when these 

 come they should not be disturbed so long as they are fresh and green. The destruction 

 of these leaves is almost the only thing likely to injure the bulbs. 



Scillas are well adapted to growing in pots or pans in the house, and treated in this 

 way will flower in February. Place six to a dozen bulbs in a pot close to the surface of 

 the soil; good gardener's earth is the best. Allow them to root in the cold before remov- 

 ing to the warmer room, and water as often as the earth shows dryness.
