Ornithogalums [Star of Bethlehem) are fine hardy bulbs, flowering in Spring and early Summer. 
Arabicum and aureum should either be grown in pots or planted in a warm situation close to a 
south wall, at a depth of 6 inches. Nutans, Pyramidale, Pyrenalcum, and Umbellatum, in 
grass are fine plants for naturalizing. O. nutans and O. umbellatum are natives of England.
