 beautiful Lilies are probably the most popular and u-eful of the Amaryllis familyt 

 perhaps no bulb blooms with more certainty and swiftness after potting; for autumn., 

 and winter flowering they are extremely beautiful, throwing up stems from ii to, 

 24 i. ches, surmounted with lily-like flowers about two inches across; colors very 

 brilliant, and in the sunlight glisten as if sprinkled with gold dust. 

 Nerine Japonica Popularly known as the "Japanese Spider Lily'' de- 

 scribed by our J apanese correspondent thus: "In sjme moist places it is so abun- 

 dant as appear like patches of scarlet, in September after the leaves have 



withered; it sends up flower stalks 

 ato 1 2 inches high which are crowned 

 with umbels of bright red flowers 

 with long curved stamens, giving it 

 an unusually graceful and attrac- 

 tive appeaiance. It is here (Japan) 

 perfectly hardy and is worthy of ex- 

 tended notice in the United States 

 for ornamental planting." We have 

 found it an excellent and very showy?
