^/tterlen s/a Vircjinica 
(Virginia Blue Bells) 
This is indispensable in the garden for color effect; flowers are 
porcelain-blue; buds pink at opening. The plant grows from 1 to 2 
feet high, bearing a panicle of flowers about 1 inch long in short 
pendent clusters. It is splendid for the open border or for naturaliz- 
ing along the woodland path. We know of no other spring flower 
which does so well in deepest shade. It flowers from the time Daf¬ 
fodils are in bloom, continuing while the May-flowering Tulips are 
at their best. Use this delightful plant in quantities, as it is permanent 
and so helpful to create beautiful pictures, especially in shady places.

Scilla * Squill 
May-Flowering Scilla 
The English Blue Bells (Scilla nutans) with its long varieties 
(S. hispanica) have erect flower-spikes and open campanulate flow¬ 
ers. All are very effective in flower and shrubbery borders, and most 
valuable for wild gardens and woodlands, where they should be 
largely naturalized. Wood Hyacinths may be planted in bare shady 
places and odd corners which often have a desert-like appearance 
which can thus be rendered bright and cheerful. They will also 
thrive under Fir and Pine trees, where few other plants will grow.
