Scilla 
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 “Wood Hya- 
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 ind the diferent kinds offer 3 long season of bloom. 
Ihe taller campanulata and nutans varieties are exceptionally fine
