Extremely rare, pretty, hardy bulbs, Dr. 

 Herbert being the only person who recently 

 possessed them in this country. His own plant 

 of I. montanum was the first specimen he saw 

 in flower, and that in May, 1840, as he told us. 

 It had a spiked inflorescence, while that of I. 

 Tartaricum is terminal; both have sky blue 

 flowers. Montanum has been taken by some 

 to be the " lily of the field." Seeds, and offsets 

 of the bulbs, which are not at all particular as 

 to soil.

 trandria 1-Monogynia.} 



Beautiful stove evergreen shrubs. Cuttings 

 of the half-ripened shoots, in sand, over sandy 

 peat, under a bell-glass, and in a brisk bottom- 

 heat; sandy fibry loam, and fibry peat, with 

 pieces of charcoal, and broken bricks or pots. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 90 ; winter, 50 to 60. 

 Most stove plants delight in bottom-heat, where 

 it can be given to them when growing and pre- 

 paring for blooming, but none more so than 

 this genus, as it is next to impossible to get it 

 in its most splendid condition without such 

 aids. Of all means of bottom-heat, this, like 

 the Cape Jasmines and others, delights in 

 that produced from sweet fermenting dung and 

 leaves ; and if so given, the insects that attack 

 it the scale, the red-spider, and sometimes the 

 mealy bug will be kept away. If this method 

 is not resorted to, the plants will require fre- 

 quent sponging with soap water.
