Scilla 
There are several distinct types of Scillas, quite un- 
like each other. Scilla sibirica and similar varieties are 
the popular small blue flowers of early spring; Scilla 
campanulata and nutans are the “Wood Hyacinths’ 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 de- 
light to the eye. The flowers are either bell-shaped or 
Early Spring Flowering Varieties 
SIBERICA. The Siberian Squill. The dazzling bright blue flowers of 
this species are among the most prized of early spring flowers. 
Planted in good loam and left alone, it will soon form large col- 
onies by seed and offsets. Can also be naturalized in lawns. Nice 
with small carpeting plants like Alyssum and under shrubs like 
Forsythia. Largest selected bulbs, 8 cm. and over. 
6-45c 12-75c 25-$1.40 100-$4.50 
SIBERICA ALBA. The pure white form. Prolific and fine. 
6-35c 12-60c 25-$1.00 100-$3.00 
SIBERICA SPRING BEAUTY. An improved form of Siberica. The rich

TUBERGENIANA. A striking new species introduced by us from 
Northern Iran, one of the best of the early spring bulbs, in gen- 
eral appearance a highly refined Puschkinia libanotica. The color 
is most unusual, a delicate light blue with somewhat darker 
stripes down the petals. The flower spike is about 5 inches, while 
each bulb produces 3 or more spikes with 10 or more flowers to 
each spike. The leaves are broad and short. Blooms with the 
Snowdrops.

May Flowering Varieties 
CAMPANULATA EXCELSIOR. Large deep blue bells, very tall, fine 
large spikes. The best blue variety, specially recommended. Plant 
this together with the latest flowering Narcissus, N. Gracilis.

Blended Mixture of 
Campanulata Varieties. 
This mixture is specially pre- 
pared for each order so there will 
be an equal quantity of three 
separate colors. Varieties will 
not be separately labeled but you 
are assured of a beautiful com- 
bination of clear sparkling whites, 
cool blues, and gay pinks. 
6-50c, 12-85c, 25-$1.55 
100-$4.95, 250-$11.50 
Although the graceful 
Scillas are extremely showy 
and free flowering, they re- 
quire no special care or cul- 
tivation. In fact, they have 
become one of our most 
valuable plant groups for 
naturalizing and wild gar- 
dens because of their ability 
to thrive under extreme 
neglect. 
Pictured here is a wood- 
land clump of Scilla Cam- 
panulata Rose Queen. 
starry, carried on a spike or in a raceme, and the different 
kinds offer a long season of bloom. The taller campanu- 
lata and nutans varieties are exceptionally fine for na- 
turalizing in shade or sun as well as for use in flower 
borders and under shrubs and trees. The dwarfer varie- 
ties are delightful for the rock garden, for scattering 
about shrubs or for naturalizing in grassy places.
