WINTER ACONITE, CHIONODOXA, SNOWFLAKES, AND SCILLAS. 
WINTER ACONITE. 
The golden blossoms which rest on an emerald-green cushion of leaves early in Spring look charming, and 
form a striking contrast to the pure white Snowdrop, the lovely blue Scilla sibirica and bifolia, Chionodoxa 
Lucilite, and the Spring Snowflake. The green carpet of foliage remaining long after the flowers, makes the 
plant valuable for situations where it is difficult to clothe the ground, such as under trees, and in moist 
situations where few flowering plants thrive.

CHIONODOXA LUCIUS (The Glory of the Snow). 
721 Chionodoxa Luclllse ( The Glory of the Snow). Mr. Maw, in describing the circumstances under which he 
found the Chionodoxa Lucilire, says, " At the lower level it was out of flower, but near the summit of the 
mountain a mass was met with in full splendour, forming one of the most sumptuous displays of floral 
beauty I ever beheld ; a mass of blue and white resembling Nemophila insignis in colour, but more intense 
and brilliant.” The Chionodoxa Lucilise was beautifully figured in The Garden, July 3rd, 1880. and in 
1878 the Floral Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society awarded to our specimen a First Class 
Certificate. Collected roots, per icoo, 1st size, ioor.; 2nd size, 841.; 3rd size, 631.; per 100, 12J. 6d., 10 s. 6 d.,

THE SNOWFLAKES (LEUCOJUM), SPRING, SUMMER, AND AUTUMN. 
Leucoium Vemum, the Spring Snowflake, is one of the earliest of beautiful Spring flowers ; the blossoms 
resembling the Snowdrop, are snow-white, tipped green, exceptionably handsome in outline, and much prized 
for bouquets Leucoium ASstivum. and Pulchellum, the Summer Snowflakes, flower in April and May, and 
are remarkable for their elegant blossoms, which so closely resemble the Snowdrop, that they are not distinguishable 
from it in bouquets. Acis Autumnalis is the charming small Leucojum, which flowers in August and September.

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

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. The fine Spanish varieties of the Wood Hyacinth which we offer have much larger flowers, and are 
handsomer than our native plant. They are very effective in flower and shrubbery borders, and most valuable 
for wild gardens, woodland walks, and to naturalize. The white and red varieties are greatly in demand to cut 
for table bouquets and vases,

SUNDRY SCILLAS. 
Peruviana and Ciliaris are the giant-flowering Scillas of Summer, which when established are grand 
border plants. Autumnalis, and its charming rose-coloured variety, Japonica, flower in August.

FUSCHKINIA. 
These Puschkinias are first-class hardy Spring flowering bulbs, and should have a place in every garden. 
P. libanotica has loose flower spikes, which are produced in profusion and early ; P. libanotica compacts closely 
follows, the flower spikes are more compact, and the flowers of a deeper colour, figured in The Garden, 1878 and 
1881.
