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

Sc ilia o 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. V/ood 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.
