the author of the above article. We do not possess Antho- 

 lyza aethiopica in our collection now, though we bloomed it 

 finely for two or three years in succession, some time ago; 

 not thinking it so beautiful as many of the smaller /ridacese, 

 we gave up its culiivalion. At that time, however, we wrote 

 a long article on the treatment of several genera of the order 

 /ridaceae, which were then in our collection, and most of 

 which we have now, in which we detailed our mode of grow- 

 ing this very species of Antholyza, (Vol. ]II., p. 367;) to 

 which article Mr. Saul can refer for our mode of practice, 

 which was equally as successful as his own. 



We are pleased, nevertheless, to insert the above remarks, 

 coming, as they do, from one who is well acquainted with the 

 growth of Cape bulbs; a tribe of plants too little known, and 

 too little appreciated by amateur cultivators. Our hope is, 

 that Mr. Saul's article may be the means of bringing the sub- 

 ject up afresh in the minds of our readers, that they may be 

 induced to add some of the many beautiful objects which 

 compose the /ridaceae to their collections. Those who wish 

 to make a good selection, are again referred to our articles, 

 (Vol. n., p. 49S, and Vol. III., p. 365,) where many of 

 the best are described, and their cultivation given at length.
