TO THE FLOWER GARDEN. 



A genus of Mexican bulbs, grows about one and a half feet high, producing flowers of the most 

 exquisite beauty : the flowers large, about four inches across, of singularly curious shape, and the 

 color of each variety gorgeous, and purely contrasted. No flower can exceed it in beauty. In bloom 

 from July to the first of October. In autumn, take up the bulbs, and keep them in a dry place, 

 away from frost, until the time of planting in the spring.

The Tubjrose is one ofth* most delightfully fragrant and beautiful of summer-flowering bulbs, 

 throwing up tall spikes of double white flowers, two to three feet high, which remain in bloom a 

 long period. The bulbs may be planted from February to May. When they are needed very 

 early, thsy may be planted in the greenhouse or hot-bed in February or March ; and, for a succes- 

 sion of flowers, in April and May. In planting, remove the useless, small offsets around the main 

 root, and place a single tuber in a pot four or five inches wide. Use good loam and leaf-mould, 

 with good drainage. Start them slowly, upon a temperate heat, in the hot-bed or forcing-pit, or, 

 liter in the season, in a frame. Water slightly at first ; and, when the bulbs begin to grow, mcrease 

 the quantity. Those started early should be supplied with a good bottom heat till May, when they 

 may be shifted into pots si.x or seven inches wide. By the first of June, all may be plunged out in a 

 warm border, staking each plant to prevent their being broken by the wind. On the approach of 

 cool weather, in September, those remaining in bloom should be removed to the conservatory or 

 parlor, where they will continue in flower for a long period. 



Fine bulbs, J1.50 to $2.00 per dozen ; bulbs started in pots in May, S300 per dozen.

TKITOMIA. 



Splendid half-hardy, evergreen, herbaceous plants, forming large, robust, stemless leaf-crowns 

 from the centre of which their tall flower-stems, three to five feet in height, are produced in sum- 

 mer and autumn, with large, dense-flowered terminal racemes of rich, pendent, orange-red and 

 scarlet tubulous flowers ; each raceme a foot or more in length. 



They are adminably adapted for bedding out ; and the numerous terminal flame-colored blossoms 

 form a stately distant or mediate effect. They thrive in any rich, light garden-soil. On approach 

 of winter, they should be taken up, and placed in the greenhouse or cellar for replanting out again 

 in spring,
