SCGLLAS — Early-flowering. The effect in early Spring can hardly be overestimated of 
the intense brilliant blue of Scilla sibirica, and the deep blue of S. 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. AH suitable for naturalisation and permanent flower borders. In pots or 
jardinets, alone or with other bulbs, they form a pleasing variety amongst indoor plants.

SCILLAS (Wood Hyacinths) - May-flowering. Our native 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 effective 
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 places, 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 Fi r and Pine trees, where few other plan ts will grow. Plant 
.September to Novembei o inches deep to obtain fine flower-spikes.
