the Floral Committee of the R. H. S. awarded to our specimens a First-Class Certificate. Amongst the 
collected roots will be found a small percentage of a beautiful dark variety of Scilla bifolia ; the two plants 
grow together, and although great care is taken to separate them, a few of the Scillas still remain, but

by the R. H. S., also by the Royal Botanic Society. J. G. , in The Garden of 14th March, 1885, writes 
“ Chionodoxa sardensis is a gem among spring bulbs — one of the rare really blue flowers. C ompared 
with C. Lucilice ... it is much brighter and deeper in colour, and a good sized patch is strikingly 
brilliant, the petals are coloured nearly to the centre. . . . Must become a great favourite.

SNOWFLAKES (Leucojum). 
SPRING, SOMMER, AND AOTDMN-FLOWERING. 
Leucojum Vernurn, 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. ASslivum and PulcAellum, 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 tucho 
fhyllum 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 Bol. Register, vol. vn., page 544. *■ “•

SCILLAS, Early-Flowering. 
The effect in early Spring can hardly be over-estimated of the intense rich blue of Scilla slbtalca. and the 
beautiful ultramarine-blue of Scilla bifolia, 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 
fardinets -done, 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. Bifolia is the first in bloom, and 
closely followed by Sibirica.

SCILLAS, May-Flowering (Wood Hyacinths). 
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 L 
Walton. The fine Spanish varieties ( S . campanulata) of the W ood Hyacinth which we offer, have . * 
are stronger growers, and handsomer than our native plants. Campanulata Emperor and f!£Mdi , 
on good soil, are as effective as Dutch Hyacinths. They are very efiective in flower and shrubbery Orders, and 
most valuable for wild gardens, woodland walks, and to naturalize ; also effective in flower beds. , 
varieties are greatly in demand to cut for table bouquets and vases. 1 hese beautiful Wood Hyacinths ma . 
also charming pot-plants, and may be forced into bloom by March.
