HYacA BXS CAXDICAXS. 



Hyacii'thus Candicans, 



(The Cape Hyacinth.) 

 A most striking and beautiful plant, supposed to be 

 only half hardy, but which has stood for the last two 

 winters, in this vicinity, without injury. It is a strong 

 grower, and shoots upwards ft stem 4 to 5 feet high, upon 

 which are regularly arranged drooping white flowers of 

 exquisite fragrance and of the form shown in our illus- 

 tration. A very pleasing effect is produced by planting 

 this in the centre of Gladiolus beds, such an arrange- 

 ment in our grounds, last season, was greatly admired. 

 Price, 25 cents each. 



Ixias. 



Very beautiful little "Winter-flowering plants. From 

 four to six should be planted in a pot. and they should 

 be protected from frost till the pots are well tilled with 

 roots, when they may be set on the shelves of the green- 

 house, and watered regularly, and they will flower freely. 

 They will grow well in the open air, plauted from five to 

 six inches deep, and covered with dry litter in winter,. 

 Finest mixed, 50 cents per dozen. 



Iris. 



Very beautiful flowering bulbs, which are deserving of 

 more extended cultivation ; their rich and varied colors 

 of blue, violet, purple, lilac, white and yellow, render 

 them attractive. Tliey are of 1he easiest culture, grow- 

 ing freely m any soil. The bulbs should bo planted early, 

 as they do not keep well out of ground.
