Scilla = Squill 
The rich dark blue of Sci I la bifolia and the bright blue of 
Sc ilia sibirica in early spring render them invaluable for edgings 
or for massing in flower beds and borders. As they bloom so 
early in the year, it is advisable to give them a sunny location. 
They are not particular about the soil in which they grow. They 
are ideal for the wild garden but they are not to be despised in 
the border, especially if they are left alone for 2 or 3 years 
without being disturbed in any way. They are splendid in the 
rock garden. Never plant less than 12 to 18 bulbs in a clump. 
*Bifolia $0.40 per 12; $2.50 per 100; $22.50 per 100C

ering Eranthis, Snowdrops, etc.

Scilia Gampanulata 
(Wood Hyacinths) 
The English Blue Bells (Sci I la nutans) with its long varieties 
(S. hispanica) has erect flower-spikes and open campanulate 
flowers. 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.
