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.
