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 of the rockery, without any special attention. 
They are best planted immediately on receipt and can remain un¬ 
disturbed for 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.

Deep cobalt-blue flowers, producing many spikes with larger flowers than 
Heavenly Blue. Excellent for forcing and massing; wonderfully fragrant.

fine for forcing in January.

common blue Grape Hyacinth and fine in the rockery. Foliage is more

best for mass planting. Their flowers open just about the time that the 
Crocuses are going. They do well in the wild garden and also in grass 
not too rank. They are nice under trees and along borders where they 
may be left undisturbed.
