fEUCHARIS. Notliing can exceed in 



beauty the deliciouslj' fi-agrant snow- 

 white blossoms of the Eucharis Amazo- 

 nica. At the International Horticultural 

 Botanical Flower Show of 1806 no class 

 of plants elicited so much admiration as 

 two large pots of this beautiful flower, 

 the plants being covered with hundreds 

 of blossoms. In bouquets the flower is 

 by many more highly prized than the 

 white Camellia, and ladies are especially 

 fond of it for their hair and their dresses. 

 Its culture is simple, where there is a 

 stove or warm greenhouse ; and, like 

 the family of w'hich it is a member 

 (Amaryllidese), by a little aiTangement 

 in starting the bulbs, it may be had in 

 flower the year round.
