Scillas-Squills 
There are several distinct types of Scillas, quite unlike each other. 
Scilla sibirica and similar varieties are the popular small blue flowers 
of early spring; Scilla campanulata and nutans are the “‘W/ood Hye- 
cinths’ or ‘English Bluebells,’’ somewhat like a slender Hyacinth 
in appearance and blooming in late May. 
All are effective in the spring garden and are a delight to the eye. 
The flowers are either bell-shaped or starry, carried on a spike or 
in a raceme and the different kinds offer a long season of bloom. 
The taller campanulata and nutans varieties are exceptionally fine 
for naturalizing in shade or sun as well as for use in flower borders 
and under shrubs and trees. The dwarfer varieties are delightful 
for the rock garden, for scattering about shrubs or for naturalizing 
in grassy places.
