during Winter, and be started in a gentle bottom heat in February or March. They may then 
be grown on in pots for greenhouse decoration or planted out of doors in a sheltered position

SCILLAS Early-fiowering, The effect in early Spring can hardly be overestimated ot

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 
iardinets, alone or with other bulbs, they form a pleasing variety amongst indoor plants.
