LILIUM HARRISII. 



The great value of this Lily consists in its earliness and free- 

 blooming qualities and the superiority of the individual flow- 

 er. The flowers are larger than those of Lilium Longiflorum, 

 and the curled points of the petals give it additional beauty. 

 Color pure white and very fragrant. This new Lily has the 

 valuable peculiarity of flowering from 2 to 4 times in succession 

 without rest. Habit of growth is free but dwarf ; the helgJtt 

 being from 12 to 20 inches. A single plant frequently has 

 as many as 30 flowers on it at one time.

lYGODIUM SCANDENS, 



(Japanese Climbing Fern.) 



A climbing Fern from the East Indies. A most graceful 

 plant, growing from one to fifty feet, as desired. Quite as 

 easy of culture as the Smilax; although cUmbing when sup- 

 ported by strings or wires, it can be used with equal advan- 

 tage as a drooping plant, for baskets or vases ; as a house 

 plant for the parlor, nothing is more easy of culture. It is 

 now preferred by many florists to Smilax, for fine cut flower 

 work, being much more beautiful and nearly as lasting, if 

 the older sprays are used.
