ORNITHOGALUM 
The group of Ornithogalum to which the well known “Star of Bethlehenv” 
belongs is divided into hardy and tender species. The hardy varieties should 
be planted in the fall, at least three inches deep, and where they have plenty of 
room as they multiply rapidly. The tender varieties may be planted in pots 
for winter blooming in the house; treated like gladiolus, being kept cool dur- 
ing winter and planted early in the spring; or planted outside in the fall and 
civen protection. 
ORNITHOGALUM NUTANS. A hardy variety used very commonly in English 
gardens. The flowers are bell-shaped and a lovely combination of silver-grey 
and apple-green with upwards of a dozen flowers on each stem. Doz. 50c. 
ORNITHOGALUM THYRSOIDES. When planted out of doors, this tender 
species blossoms in July. Several dozen pure white bell-shaped blossoms top 
a 42-inch stem. They are very stately, showy and long lasting. Doz. 50c. 
SCILLA CAMPANULATA (Wood Hyacinth) 
The Spanish Bluebell or Scilla Campanulata is lovely planted in groups, 
beds or borders. It grows to a height of 12 to 18 inches and flowers in May. 
Plant 4 to 6 inches deep and leave undisturbed for several years. However, it 
does appreciate a top dressing of bonemeal or well rotted barnyard manure.
