nil il A Biflora. Mexican Star Flower. A beautiful 

 * III— ii-«»« summer-blooming bulb, for sunny positions. A row 



or bed of them is always in flower after the middle of summer 

 and "very attractive. Flowers star-shaped, IV2 inches across, 

 clear waxy white, of great substance, enlivened by a frost-like 

 sparkle; the fragrance is delightful. Place a stalk in water and 

 the flowers will all open; we have seen 11 stalks .shoot up suc- 

 cessively from one bulb. The bulbs flower profusely and with 

 great certainty. Height, 12 to 18 inches

lVpDIIVp Guernsey Lilies. These beautiful Lilies are 

 1~1-»*V" ~ *-" probably the most popular and useful of the 

 Amaryllis family ; perhaps no bulb blooms with more certainty 

 and swiftness after potting; for autumn and winter flowering 

 they are extremely beautiful, throwing up stems from 18 to 24 

 inches, surmounted with lily-like flowers about two inches across ; 

 colors very brilliant, and in the sunlight glisten as if sprinkled 

 with gold dust. {See cut. ) 



Sarniensis. (Guernsey Lily.) Rich salmon red 



Fothergilli Major. This is one of the most beautiful bulbous 

 plants for the conservatory or window garden. It is a vigorous 

 grower, flowering with great certainty and producing clusters of 

 large wavy petaled lily-like flowers of the most glittering ver- 

 milion scarlet. It blooms at various seasons. It requires potting 

 but seldom and should be left to grow, blossom and increase for 

 several years, as well-established plants when in flower are simply 

 magnificent. We know of no plant that will give more continued 

 delight than this. (See cut.)

 UKl^H HUUrtUUI I. hem _ A beautiful variety, 

 throwing up a tall spike bearing numerous large, milk-white, 

 star-shaped flowers, with a black centre, and having a distinct 

 aromatic perfume. They are decidedly pretty and interesting 

 when grown in the garden — but are more largely grown for 

 greenhouse and window decoration, being of the easiest culture. 



Largely forced by florists now for cut flowers. (See cut.)
