SCILLAS Early-flowering. The effect in early Spring can hardly be overestimated of 
the intense brilliant blue of Scilla sibirica, and the deep blue of 8. bifolia, contrasting 
with the snowy whiteness of the Snowdrop and varied hues of the Crocus. As edgings and 
masses in beds and borders they are most valuable. Bifolia and Sibirica taurica are the 
first to bloom. All suitable for naturalisation and permanent flower borders . In pots or 
jardinets, alone or with other bulbs, they form a pleasing variety amongst indoor plants.
