AMARYLLIS, OR JACOBEA LILY, 
(SPREIKELIA FORMOSISSIMA.) 
This flower is of the most beautiful and rich crimson-velvet color; the bulb generally pro- 
duces two stems, the one after the other, about the end of May or the first of June; the stem is 
from nine to twelve inches high, surmounted by a single flower composed of six petals, three 
hanging down, three erect and recurved; the stamens droop on the centre of the under petals. 
The flower thus appears nodding on one side of the stem, and has a most graceful and charming 
appearance. Plant about the first of May. Price 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen. 
COLOCASIA, OR CALADIUM ESCULENTUM. 
One of the most beautiful and striking of the Ornamental Foliayed Plants in cultivation, either 
for culture in large pots, or for planting out upon the lawn; it will grow in any good garden 
soil, and is of the easiest culture; when of full size it stands about five feet high, with immense 
leaves, often measuring four feet in length, by two and a half in breadth; very smooth, of a light 
green color, beautifully veined and variegated with dark green. The root should be preserved 
in dry sand, in a cellar, during winter, out of reach of frost. Price 25 to 50 cents each, accord- 
ing to size of bulbs.
