LIL'IUM, Nat. Ord. Lilia'cece. 

 This magnificent genus of hardy l)ulbs is too well known and appreciated for its orna- 

 mental effect in the conservatory and flower garden ta need description ; the seeds we offer 

 have been saved from the most carefully hybridised flowers. L. giganteum was impregnated 

 with L. lancifolium punctatum. The varieties enumerated delight in a mixture of loam, 

 peat, and silver sand.

 larly effective and valuable as edgings, succeeding in any soil or situation, but delighting most 

 in a' moist soil ; we believe they may be grown as aquatics ; they also grow in shady places.

 and variety of their colours ; well adapted for and very effective in beds or ribbons, rockwork, 

 woodland walks, &c. ; grow freely in common garden soil.

ll'XOI, Nat. Ord. Lina'cece. 

 A fine genus of free-flowering plants, among which stands distinguished for its beautiful 

 saucer-shaped flowers of rich crimson-scarlet with crimson black centre, L. grandiflorum coc- 

 cineum, one of our most effective and shoAAy bedding plants ; its habit of growth is slender 

 and delicate, and it produces flowers in profusion for many months. L. flavum, with its golden- 

 yellow blossoms, profusion, and duration of bloom, forms a valuable contrast and companion to 

 the above. L. corymbiflorum luteum, with its beautiful straw-colour blossoms, also forms a 

 pleasing contrast with L. g. coccineum. All the species enumerated are beautiful, and should 

 occupy a place in every garden. Those marked so .* make nice pot plants. The plants suc- 

 ceed best in a light rich soil.

LISm'THUS, Nat. Ord. Gentiana'cece. 

 "When well grown this is a magnificent plant, with extremely handsome flowers ; fine for 

 conserv atory decoration ; succeeds best in sandy peat with a very little loam. The plants must 

 be grown in a high moist temperature.
