The Holland Bulb Gardens, Limmen, Holland, Established 1868 
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 in¬ 
doors, 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, Cam- 
panulata and Nutans. Scilla Campanulata is the common Bluebell of England.

Snowdrops 
(Galanthus) 
The Snowdrop is an old-time 
favorite of the early Spring. It 
does not wait for the snow to 
disappear to display its attrac¬ 
tive white flowers. There is a 
double form as well as a single. 
The bulbs should be covered 
with about two inches of soil 
and left undisturbed from one 
season to another. They seem 
to prefer a somewhat sandy 
soil. They are suitable for 
planting in clumps amongst 
shrubbery or in flower beds and 
borders. Very few places come 
amiss to them. They can be 
grown in lawns and wild places. 
If grown for indoor bloom they 
should be brought forward at a 
cool temperature. A five-inch 
pot will hold about ten or 
twelve bulbs.
