Hyacinthus 
A race of quaint and comely creatures that are all 
too seldom seen in American gardens. Although they are 
hardy, long-lived and increase freely, they somehow do 
not find their way from the printed page to the waiting 
brown earth. Let us venture to plant more of these ac- 
commodating treasures for only by close acquaintance 
can we appreciate their exceptional virtues. Plant 3 to 
4 inches deep, 3 inches apart each way.

AMETHYSTINUS. The Alpine Hyacinth. The bells of this variety: 
are a brighter blue than the name would indicate, being nearer 
China blue. Mr. Reginald Farrer rates it high among the love- 
liest bulbs and says it is “the most exquisite of all delights for 
early summer”. Height 6 inches. May-June.

AZUREUS (Muscari azureum). This is a gem for the rock garden 
as it is a small but perfect thing. While the bright blue flowers 
are only 3 or 4 inches tall, it brings us a bit of spring in mild 
spells during February. It should be planted in well-drained 
gritty soil in full sun.

Leucojums ~ Snowflakes 
A very hardy family of bulbs of great interest in the 
spring and early summer garden. Somewhat resembling 
Galanthus, they are larger and more vigorous in every 
way. They like a situation in partial shade with soil not 
too rich but containing a plentiful amount of leaf mold. 
Depth to plant, about 2 inches and 3 inches apart. Place 
where they may remain undisturbed to establish a colony. 
Bulbs should be planted immediately upon receipt.
