SCILLA CAMPANULATA (Wood Hyacinth)

SCILLA CAMPANULATA 
SNOWFLAKE 
MUSCARI 
SCILLA ITALICA 
This rare Scilla is seldom found in catalogs but we have been growing it for a number 
of years and are glad to make this lovely flower available. It is splendid for the rock 
garden or flower border. The flowers come in late May and are noted for the fullness and 
sweetness of their lilac-like fragrance. 
The leaves are few in number and much shorter than the flower stem which rises to a 
height of 10 to 12 inches, carrying a large number of the daintiest little bells of pale blue. 
Plant 3 to 4 inches deep in any good well drained garden soil. Hardy. 
75c doz., 25 for $1.40, 100 for $5.00. 
SCILLA SIBERICA 
The bright blue flowers of Scilla Siberica coming so early in the spring have made 
them a great favorite and they are one of the most popular of the small flowering spring 
bulbs. They flower before the Snowdrops are over and, planted close together, make 
the really first brilliant display of the year. Each bulb produces from one to six flower 
stems 3 to 4 inches tall, each stem carrying from one to three or more open bell-like 
flowers. Splendid for edgings, massing in flower beds and borders or in the rock garden. 
Plant 3 to 4 inches deep. The bulbs are cheap and can be planted liberally. 
Siberica, Blue .50c doz., $3.00 per 100, $27.50 per 1000 
Siberica, White .70c doz., $5.00 per 100, $45.00 per 1000 
LEUCOJUM—SNOWFLAKE (Leucojum Aestivum) 
A very handsome, hardy and robust plant producing in May elegant spikes of long 
stemmed flowers highly prized for vases. The stems 14 to 18 inches high are topped by 
4 to 8 handsome, white, drooping, bell-like flowers having a small dot of green on the 
edge of each petal. The bulbs look like narcissus, require similar culture, and may be left 
undisturbed for years. Plant in September to November, 3 to 4 inches deep, measuring 
from the shoulder of the bulb. Prefers a partly shaded position in moist loamy soil well 
drained in winter. Lovely in fern borders or in groups in the shrubbery.

they produce a lovely effect and continue a long time in bloom.
