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 beautilul, 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. 
“ Heavenly Blue,” this lovely variety was sent us some years ago from Trebizond ; 
the colour is of the brightest and richest shade of gentian-blue imaginable, and large 
masses produce a wonderful effect in the garden from the end of March to May; 
the flowers have a delightful fragrance, and arc very valuable for cutting, having long 
stalks, and remaining fresh in water a long time. Awarded a Certificate of Merit by 
the Royal Botanic Society. (See Illustration, page 9.) ...per 1000, 60/- ; per 100, 6/6 1 o... —
