 bulbs, with pink, white and 

 blue flowers. They flower 

 early, and are well adapted 

 to growing in po's orj^ans, in 

 the house, and hardy enough 

 to withstand the Winter out 

 of dooi'S if they are protected 

 with the usual covering of 

 leaves, etc. They should be 

 planted in October or Novem-

SMILAX. 



Evergreen climbers of much beauty, usually cultivated as green-house or conservatory plants. 

 The leaves are small, and quite ornamental; its twisting and clinging habit makes it quite a favor- 

 ite in this country. It is very useful in the formation of wreaths and crosses, and for clothing stat- 

 uettes, vases, &c. Grown both from seed and bulbs. The little bulbs should be put in pots as soon 

 :as possible after they are received, and watered sparingly until signs of growth appear, when they 

 should receive plenty of water. They grow rapidly, and a single bulb will make a vine 40 feet long 

 in a remarkably short time; strings must be suppUed for them to run upon. Give them a warm 

 place and plenty of air, but keep them from a direct draft. When the foUage turns yellow, cut off 

 the vine and gradually withhold water, and put the bulb in a dry, cool place for six weeks, when it 

 Avill be ready for another season's growth.

The first to lerald the approach of Spring, defying the cold, and lifting its tiny white blossom 

 lio view long before the snow has disappeared, and when no other sign of vegetable life appears. 

 The flower is beautiful, and is more welcome by its being so early. They can be planted in beds, 

 in the border, or in clumps in the open lawn, and viill endure any amount of hard treatment; still, 

 -no flower better repays care and attention. Plant the bulbs in September or October— the earlier
