THE SNOWFLAKES (LEUCOJUM), SPRING, SUMMER, AND AUTUMN. 
Leucojum Vemum, the Spring Snowflake, one of our earliest Spring flowers with blossoms resembling a large 
Snowdrop, tipped green, handsome in outline, and prized for bouquets. L. r&stivum and Pulchellum, the 
Summer Snowflakes, flower in April and May, and are remarkable for their elegant blossoms, which so closely 
resemble a Snowdrop as not to be distinguishable from it when used in bouquets. L. Autumnale is a charming 
neat graceful white-tipped pink Snowdrop-like flower, which blossoms in August and September. L. truho- 
phyllum resembles Autumnale in its graceful growth, but the flowers are pure white and are produced in 
spring ; this is a very rare plant, and is figured in Bot. Register, vol. vii., page 544. each—.. <i.

EARLY-FLOWERING SCILLA. 
The effect in early Spring can hardly be over-estimated of the intense rich blue of Scilla siblrica, and the 
beautiful ultramarine-blue of Scilla bifoiia, contrasting with the snow-white of the Snowdrop, and the varied hues 
of the Crocus. As permanent edgings these two early-flowering Scillas are most valuable. Grown in pots or 
jardinets, alone, or with other bulbs, they form a pleasing variety amongst indoor plants. In flower beds and 
masses, the blossoms are so abundantly produced as to carpet the ground. Bifoiia is the first in bloom, and is 
closely followed by Sibirica, which in turn is succeeded by Amcena, thus forming in the succession of Spring 
flowers a connecting link with the Wood Hyacinth. See Figure in The Garden, 1878.

MAY-FLOWERING SCILLA (THE WOOD HYACINTH). 
The Wood Hyacinth is 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. Tlie line Spanish varieties (S', campanulata ) of the Wood Hyacinth which we offer, have larger flowers, 
are stronger growers, and handsomer than our native plants. Campanulata Emperor and grandiiloia, when 
on good soil, are as effective as Dutch Hyacinths. They are very effective in flower and shrubbery borders, and 
most valuable for wild gardens, woodland walks, and to naturalize ; also effective in flower beds. I he white 
varieties are greatly in demand to cut for table bouquets and vases.
