S. Peruviana requires sliglit protection ; all the others are 

 quite hardy, and may remain in tiie 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.
