Tall-growing, bulbous perennials of graceful h:iblt. and hand- 

 some foliage and flowers. They are easily cultivated in i)ots, 

 requiring only rich soil and plenty of water. A compost of 

 one part good loam and one part cow manure is recommended. 

 It is a good plan to plant them out in the garden each summer, 

 in rich, well-manured soil, giving them plenty of water, taking 

 them up and carefully repotting in September.

S. 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 snow- 

 drop and the varied hues of the crocus, is very striking; most 

 valuable for permanent edging, or planted in bunches of a 

 dozen or so.
