Excerpt from Variety in the Little Garden The Puschkinia is another of these delicious little early things. Its nodding flower is held on a stem about four inches high, and is striped, bluish and white. On our ground it is fair to see, for it has spread itself about from the first sowing till long reaches of it now appear under lilacs, and the interesting thing is to see the amount of fine grass-like leaves among the newer blooming bulbs. All these leaves give promise of flowers within a year or two. In fact, when the blue-white mist of Puschkinia lies around a little semicircular brick platform, used as a sitting-place just at one side of the garden, -runs ofl' through pale yellow tulips, and rises through the handsome leaves of Euonymus skirting the curve of brick, I think this one of Spring's most endearing moments.
