time. These little gems should be given choice sunny spots on rockwork or front border.

MUSCARI (Grape, Starch, Musk, and Feathered Hyacinths). 
These lovely Spring Flowers require no special culture or soil. Naturalised on rockwork 
and grassy banks they look very beautiful, while as edgings and massed in the flower border they 
are most charming, and continue a long time in bloom, ht. 4 to 6 inches. We can strongly recom- 
mend them all for naturalisation.

masses produce a wonderful effect in the garden from the end of March to May; 
the flowers have a delightful fragrance, and are very valuable for cutting, having long 
stalks, and remaining fresh in water a long time. Awarded a Certificate ofi Merit by
