SCILLAS (Wood Hyacinths)— May-flowering. Our n.itive species (Scilla nutans), 
with its long pendent bells, abounds in most parts of the country. The fine Spanish varieties 
(S. hispanica) have erect flower-spikes and open campanulate flowers. Scilla patula and its 
varieties have a robust tall habit with large campanulate open flowers. All are very eflcctive 
in flower and shrubbery borders, and most valuable for wild gardens and woodlands, where 
they should be largely naturalised ; they seed freely and quickly establish themselves. They 
also make charming pot-plants, and may be forced into bloom by March. Wood Hyacinths 
succeed in shady flower borders and bare shady pltices, and odd corners which often have a 
desert-like appearance in the flower garden can by their use be rendered bright and cheerful. 
They will also thrive under Fir and Pine trees, where few other plants will grow . Plant 6 
inches deep to obtain fine flower-spikes.
