These are miniature Crown Imperials. F. Meleagris varieties, have singularly marbled pendent bell-shaped 
flowers, which are very effective grown in groups in the borders, shrubberies, etc. F. Persica and I* . Pyrenaica 
should be freely planted in mixed flower borders, woodland walks, etc. They grow freely in any ordinary 
garden soil.

SCILLA. 
Scilla Sibirica is the brightest and most beautiful of our early Spring flowers, blooming with the Snowdrop 
and the Crocus, its intense rich blue contrasting finely with the pure white of the one and the many hues of the 
other, and continuing long in bloom. Where it shows to greatest advantage is in permanent edgings and groups, 
there becoming dense carpets of flowers so thick as almost to hide the foliage. For pot culture and for jardinets, 
alone or associated with other bulbs, it is invaluable. Scilla bifolia is next in importance, preceding Sibirica in 
its time of flowering, but not quite so lasting. Scilla amcena succeeds Sibirica in time of blooming ; but 
S. sibirica is the gem of the early flowering Scillas. 
Following these come the late Spring Scillas, Nutans and Cernuus, and the Spanish Scillas, which are 
Patula and Campanulata, flowering in April and continuing throughout May. These Wood Hyacinths delight 
*o exhibit their beauties in somewhat shady situations, such as Rhododendron beds, shrubbery borders, woodland 
walks, and positions where they can remain undisturbed ; and where the soil is at all good, established plants 
will yield flowers of size and beauty which their near relation Hyacinthus orientalis, the Dutch Hyacinth, in all 
its grandeur only excels in degree. Scilla peruviana flowers in Summer, throwing up immense heads of bloom, 
and established plants are exceedingly effective. In August, S. japonica and autumnalis are in flower, and 
masses of these in the borders make one feel as if they were at the Alpha, instead of approaching the Omega, of 
the season of flowers. 
All the varieties of the Scilla should be used in Rockwork, and they are all valuable as cut flowers. 
For many years we have been cultivators of hardy Scillas, collecting them wherever they could be purchased, 
and wc have now perhaps the finest collection of these in Europe. The confusion in the nomenclature we found 
to be great ; but, thanks to Dr. Masters, who cleared up the confusion amongst the early-flowering Scillas, and 
to J. G. Baker, Esq., for his able paper in the Gardeners' Chronicle of 3rd August, 1872, on the late Spring- 
flowering Scillas. 
Following these eminent authorities we have arranged, as under, the Scillas we have been Cultivating.
