CROWN IMPERIALS. 
Stately border plants, producing in Spring effective clusters of pendent bell-shaped flowers, which are sur- 
mounted by characteristic tufts of fresh green leaves. These are especially adapted for shrubbery borders and 
outlying situations, where early-flowering plants of stately growth are required. They succeed in almost any 
soil and situation, but thrive best in loam.

FRITILLARIAS. 
The varieties of F. Meleagris have singularly marbled pendent bell-shaped flowers. They are effective in flower 
borders and shrubberies, and are valuable for naturalization in ornamental parks and woodland walks. Persica is 
almost as stately as the Crown Imperial ; its bluish-green foliage, and small, dusky, pendent, bell-shaped 
flowers impart to it a very distinctive character. Pyrenaica, like Meleaexis, is dwarf, with smaller flowers 
and less chequered. Kamschatkensis is the Sarana Kamschatkense, the Lilium Kamschatkense and the Black 
Lily ; the flowers are very remarkable. Pudica is a chaiming dwarf yellow variety, recently figured in The Garden. 
All the Fritillarias grow freely in any ordinary garden soil.

SCILLA (THE WOOD HYACINTH). 
The varieties of Wood Hyacinths which we quote are a selection of the finest, possessing a sufficient dis- 
tinctness to make them all acceptable border plants. For many years we have been collecting the various forms, 
and few indeed are aware how many beautiful things there aie in this family, notably those from Spain, which 
are ranged under the head of Campanulata, Patula, and Cernua. The two varieties of Campanulata, Emperor 
and Empress, have flowers almost as large as a Dutch Hyacinth, and we recommend those who are cultivating 
herbaceous plants to plant groups of the Spanish varieties in the borders. Being extremely hardy and accommo- 
dating they will grow anywhere, but in somewhat shady places they are most at home. For naturalization in 
woods and wild gardens these bulbs should be planted extensively either in mixture or distinct varieties. Scilla 
nutans represents the English and Belgian forms.
