Ixia 
The Ixias are also known as the African Corn 
Lily. They are natives of the Cape of Good Hope 
country and are well suited for winter blooming 
indoors. They should be forced at a low temperature. 
The flowers are borne in graceful spikes of white, 
yellow, pink, rose, orange and red colors. The centre 
of the flowers is always characterized by a striking 
“eye” which contrasts noticeably with the other color 
of the flower. Six or ten bulbs can be planted in 
a six-inch pot or pan. When planted outdoors give 
them good winter protection.

Lilium 
There are only two Lilies, the bulbs of which are matured sufficiently to 
permit shipping with the Tulips, etc., in Fall. Lilium Candidum—the White 
Madonna Lily—is quite hardy for outdoor growing and should have a half-shady, 
moist position such as in a shrub border. Protect with leaves or coarse manure 
for the Winter. It can be forced also for Easter or early Spring bloom. Excelsum 
is used mostly for outside. See for further list of Lilies for Spring importatioli, 
pages 35 to 36.

Scilla 
Few flowers make a brighter show 
in the early spring than the various 
Squills. They are also called the 
Wood or Star Hyacinths. They are 
quite hardy. Their flowers are white, 
blue, rose and red. For winter bloom 
indoors, treat them in the same way 
as Crocuses. Give them about six 
weeks in the cellar to root. A five- 
inch pot will hold about a dozen 
bulbs. Garden Scillas are improved 
varieties of three native species 
named Siberica, Campanulata and 
Nutans. Scilla Campanulata is the 
common Bluebell of England.
