M. botryoides, the Grape Hyacinth, is remaryrorc for its dwarf growth and neat compact heads of bloom ; 

 the dark blue, clear bright light blue, and purew^ue varieties, contrast strikingly with each other planted in lines, 

 circles, or in beds, ribbons, groups, etc. M. racemosum, the Starch Hyacinth, flowers at the same time as M. 

 botryoides, the spikes of bloom in the two species very much resemble each other ; but in racemosum the indi- 

 vidual flowers and spikes are somewhat larger and more numerous, foliage more ample, and, on the whole, in a 

 bed or group, the richer effect is in favour of racemosum. M. racemosum pallens (new) is less dense in colour, 

 a trifle dwarfer, and forms a fine contrast to the darker species, M. racemosum ; both M. botryoides and varieties, 

 and M. racemosum and varieties are charming, cultivated in pots. M. moschatum, the Musk Hyacinth, is inef- 

 fective, but the flowers are delightfully fragrant, so we recommend them being cultivated in pots. M. plumosum 

 monstrosum, the Feathered Hyacinth, flowers latest in this section ; its remarkably handsome plume-like appear- 

 ance entitles it to a prominent place in every border. Cultivated in somewhat shady situations, the Muscari 

 continue long in bloom, and established masses or lines are very effective.

AMARYLLIS. 



THE FAR-FAMED BELLADONNA AND GUERNSEY LILIES. 



The flowers of the beautiful Guernsey Lily are brilliant scarlet, and in the sun's rays appear as if spangled 

 with gold-dust. The Belladonna Lily is white, flushed with rose-purple, and very handsome. 



$iaf* These bulbs are generally received from Guernsey early in September, and always showing the flower 

 bud. Orders for them should, therefore, be given immediately after the 1st and not later than the 15th September. 

 When dispatching these to our customers, we examine the flower-bud of each, discarding such as at the time do not 

 give promise of a good flower. Notwithstanding this precaution on our part, delay in transit, not planting 

 immediately they are received, or, it may be, an undeveloped defect in the flower-scape, for which we cannot be 

 responsible, may lead to partial failure. We therefore recommend those who wish to ensure the enjoyment of 

 these charming flowers, as they are so exceedingly cheap, to purchase an extra quantity, and thus avoid 

 disappointment and annoyance. 



Culture. — Immediately the bulbs with the partially developed flower scapes are received, plant them in 

 light soil, prepared cocoa-fibre or moss, and give water liberally. Bulbs supplied after their flowering period 

 should be potted and treated same as recommended for Vallota purpurea.

^^~HARDY AMARYLLIS. 



The varieties of Amaryllis in this Section are very easily cultivated ; when grown in pots, the protection of 

 the most ordinary frame is ample. The varieties of Belladonna are truly charming : their rich coloured blossoms 

 strikingly effective in the greenhouse in autumn ; while they and the Longifolia, if planted in a dry south border 

 under a wall, or in front of a greenhouse, and left undisturbed when established, will annually produce their large 

 showy and beautiful umbels of funnel-shaped flowers. Atamasco, Candida, and Lutea are neat plants of dwarf 

 growth, and with beautiful Crocus-like blossoms, which expand in autumn, and are exceedingly effective, 

 whether planted several in a pot, or grown in groups in a well-drained border, or in select parts of rockwork. 

 Atamasco— the Atamascan Lily— flowers first, next Candida, which is called "The Flower of the West Wind," 

 and then Lutea, "The Lily of the Field," with its rich golden blossoms. Formosissima, the Jacobean Lily, with 

 its beautiful rich curiously-shaped flowers, cannot be too strongly recommended for forcing, or for conservatory 

 decoration in summer. Vallota purpurea, or the Scarboro" Lily, is an invaluable autumn-flowering plant of the 

 simplest culture and the highest order of beauty ; those who have no other convenience than a sitting-room 

 window can grow it with success, while those who have a greenhouse or a frame should cultivate it in quantity, 

 using it for filling vases, furnishing their greenhouse, or to cut for table bouquets, flower baskets, etc.
