Muscari are charming spring-flowering subjects. They can grow under 
trees and shrubs and also do well in full sun in the border or at a sunny 
spot ot the rockery, without any special attention. They are best planted 
immediately on receipt and can remain undisturbed tor years. They are 
absolutely hardy and some varieties are delicately fragrant. Botryoides, 
Azureum and Armeniacum are beautiful when forced in the house, same 
culture as Freesias; while Plumosum is always a source of great interest. 
All are about five inches high.

best for mass planting. Their flowers open just about the time that the

not too rank. They are nice under trees and along borders where they 
may be left undisturbed. (Color illustration, page H.)

excellent for conservatory and indoor treatment. For the southern rock 
garden they are indispensable. Protect in cold climates.

flowers of a rich golden yellow. The bulbs make a charming decoration

of-doors the Sternbergia likes a warm, well-drained situation on banks 
or borders, where it should be left undisturbed. The bulbs should be 
planted 9 inches deep, and in cold districts a covering of dry litter should 
be given in winter. Fine for the rock garden.

with white center. Somewhat resembles the Chionodoxa, is delightfully 
fragrant. They spread and multiply with amazing rapidity and are ex¬ 
cellent in the rockery or under shrubs or trees where nothing else will 
grow. They are hardv, but like a little protection. About 3 inches high.
