SCILLAS, May-Flowering (Wood Hyacinths). 
The Wood Hyacinth is one of the most decorative of May-flowering bulbs. Our native species, Scilla 
nutans, abounds in most parts of the country, and many suppose it to be the “ Culver keys” referred to 
by Izaak Walton. The fine Spanish varieties ( 5 . campanulata) have erect flower spikes and larger and 
handsomer flowers than our native plants, which have small drooping flowers. All the Wood Hyacinths arc 
very effective in flower and shrubbery borders, and most valuable for wild gardens and woodlands. They also 
make charming pot-plants, and may be forced into bloom by March. The white varieties are greatly in 
demand to cut for table bouquets and vases. Mr. William Robinson, in his paper at the Conference 0*1 
Hardy Flowers, refers to the Spanish Scillas (S. campanulata vars.) as " giving new aspects of flower life." 
fn addition to these we recommend Nos. 859 and 860 .

PUSCIIKINIA. 
The beautiful variety of Puschkinia we offer is a first-class dwarf hardy April-flowering bulb, and should be 
represented in the permanent flower borders of every garden ; it is charming on rockwork, and is also a 
lovely in-door pot-plant (6 bulbs in a pot). A coloured plate of it appeared in The Garden, 1878 and 1881.

MUSCARI. 
“ The Muscari,” says Mr W. Robinson, in his paper at the Conference on Hardy Flowers, ”/ made trial 
of and was delighted with the pretty clouds of blue in the grass." These Grape, Starch, Musk, and Feathered 
Hyacinths require no special culture or soil, on rockwork they are beautiful, and in the flower borders 
most charming, and continue a long time in bloom. We recommend them all for naturalization, ht. 4 to 6 inches.
