LILIES. (LILIUM.) 



These require very little care. The principal thing, indeed, to be attended to is to forbear disturbing them 

 too often. L. auratum cannot bear manure ; ordinary light soil suits them best. We call particular attention 

 to the L. sPeciosum (Japan Lilies), which are, next to L. auratum, the most magnificent species. Lilies should 

 be planted deep, not less than 6 inches, and, although hardy, are benefited by a light covering. 



If ordered by mall, add 3 cents each for those marked thus (*) ; others from 1 to 2 cents each for postage.

AMARYLLIS. 



These bulbs, which are so remarkable for their beautiful flowers, should, most of them, be cultivated 

 indoors, and but moderately watered, unless they show indications of flowering. The soil suitable for their 

 culture is a good loam, with one-fourth part of leaf-mould or pulverized manure, and a proportion of sand.
