X2 FERRE, BATCHELDER & CO’S CATALOGUE OE BULBS. 
SOILLA. 
A very beautiful genus of plants and one that should be grown by every lover of early Spring 
bulbs; the species enumerated below are the most distinct and beautiful sorts, and will be found 
deserving of extended cultivation. They are all quite hardy and adapted for cultivation in the 
open ground; they are also suitable for growing in pots. They are of a dwarf habit, averaging six 
inches in height, many of them being even less than that, the prevailing colors being blue and 
white. The flowers are borne in spikes of from six to twelve blooms each, the individual bell¬ 
like blossoms being gracefully pendant with the exception of Peruviana, which produces large 
erect trusses of bloom. When grown in pots the number of bulbs placed in each should be regu¬ 
lated in accordance with the size of the pot, and for open ground planting, their very dwarf growth 
adapts them for margins, edgings, &c.
