The rich dark blue of Scilla bifolia and the bright blue of Scilla 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.

^rlionia 
Scitta Gampanutala 
(Wood Hyacinths) 
The English Blue Bells (Scilla nutans) with its long varieties (S. his- 
panica) has erect flower spikes and open campanulate flowers. All are very 
effective in flower and shrubbery borders, and most valuable for wild gar¬ 
dens and woodlands, where they should be largely naturalized. Wood Hya¬ 
cinths may be planted in bare shady places and odd corners which often 
have a desert-like appearance which can thus be rendered bright and cheer¬ 
ful. They will also thrive under Fir and Pine trees, where few other plants 
will grow.
