Tall-growing, bulbous perennials of graceful 

 habit, and handsome foliage and flowers. They 

 are easily cultivated in pots, requiring only rich 

 soil and plenty of water. A compost of one part 

 good loam and one part cow manure is recom- 

 mended. It is a good plan to plant them out in 

 the garden each summer, in ricli, well-manured 

 soil, giving them plenty of water, taking them 

 up and carefully repotting in September.

 ica). Large, white, trumpet-shaped flowers

SCILLAS 



READY IN SEPTEMBER 



5. Peruviana requires slight protection ; all 

 the others are quite hardy, and may remain 

 in the ground several years. The effect in early 

 spring of the intensely rich blue, early-flowering 

 Scilla, contrasting with the snow-white of the 

 Snowdrop and the varied hues of the Crocus, 

 is very striking; most valuable for permanent 

 edging, or planted in bunches of a dozen or so. 

 If ordered by mail, add 5 cts. per doz. for postage, except 

 Peruviana, for which add 2 cts. each
