SCILLAS.— Early-flowering. The effect in early Spring can hardly be over-estimated of 
the intense brilliant blue of Seilla Sibirica, and the deep-blue of Scilla bifolia 
contrasting with the snowy whiteness of the Snowdrop and the varied hues of the Crocus.’ 
As edgings and masses in flower beds and borders these two Scillas are most valuable! 
Bifolia is the first in bloom and is closely followed by Sibirica. All suitable for natura- 
lisation and permanent flower borders. Grown 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) abounds 
in most parts of the country, and many suppose it to be the 1 Culver keys’ referred to by Izaak 
Walton. The fine Spanish varieties (S. campanulata) have erect flower spikes and larger floweis. 
All the Wood Hyacinths 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. The white varieties are greatly in demand to cut for table bouquets and vases. Wood 
Hyacinths should also be planted in groups in all shady flower borders and bare shady places, 
and odd corners which otten have a desert-like appearance in the flower garden can thus be 
rendered bright and cheerful. Wood Hyacinths will thrive under Fir and Pine trees where few 
other plants will grow.
