Muscari moschatum, Willd. (M, suaveolens, Fisch.). Musk or Nutmeg Hyacinth. Lvs. 5-6, 1 ft. long, ½ - ¾ in. wide: raceme loose, 1—3 in. long; fls. 20-50, blue. Asia Minor. B.M. 734. Gn. 26, p. 137.—Has the odor of musk. Seems to enjoy a warm dry border where bulbs mature properly. Sometimes fails to bloom after first year. Vars. major and minor are advertised. M. dipcadi major and minor have appeared in the catalogues since 1878, but these names have no botanical standing and represent cultural forms, of which there are several.
