SCI 
Queen of the Pinks 
Scilla Htispanica (campanulata) 
(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 weodlands, 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.

Excelsior 
Scilla - Squill 
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 two or three years with- 
out being disturbed in any way. They are splendid in the rock garden. 
Never plant less than 12 to 18 bulbs in a clump. 
Bifolia Doz. $0.75, 100 $4.50 
This species flowers in March with deep gentian-blue flowers. They are 
vey beautiful in combination with the early flowering Eranthis, Snow- 
rops, etc. 
Pratensis Doz. $1.10, 100 $7.50 
Deep blue flowers in May, very pretty pyramidal heads and sweetly 
scented; not over 6 inches high. Excellent for the rock garden.

Earliest to flower, connecting the flowering of the Crocuses with the 
Narcissi. Fine for naturalizing, producing drooping, bell-like flowers on 
stems 3 to 4 inches high. Succeeds well in the rock garden. Color bright 
blue. Plant 3 inches deep in shade, half shade or full sun. Giant bulbs 
are offered above.

ommended for garden as well as for growing inside the house. 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT — As Well as For Your Flowers

that make plenty of strong roots, produce sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage 
and an abundance of good sized blooms. That's exactly the kind of 
Plant Food we use at Wayside. Much of our success in growing such 
unfailingly fine plants is due to it. Turn to page 111, and get the full
