HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 

 (The Cape Hyacinth.) 



A most striking and beautiful plant, supposed to be only half-

 vicinity, without injury with protection. It is a strong 

 grower, and shoots upward a stem 4 to 5 feet high, upon 

 which are regularly arranged drooping white flowers of ex- 

 quisite fragrance. A very pleasing effect is produced by 

 planting this in the centre of Gladiolus beds ; such an 

 arrangement in our grounds, three seasons ago, was greatly 

 admired. (See cut.) * 10
