THE It I L Y 



Auratum [English grown roots), the 

 golden-rayed Lily of Japan. We have 

 during the past season, bloomed and care- 

 fully noted the comparative beauty and value 

 of hundreds of this lily. The variations 

 are almost endless ; some are profusely and 

 heavily spotted, others sparingly spotted, and 

 some almost white, some have bronze instead 

 ojgold bands, others again produce very large 

 flowers, and others small and some medium 

 sized fioivers, etc.; then again some are beau- 

 tifully formed, and others are deficient in 

 this respect, but all the fiowcrs are beautiful 

 and fragrant, though differing in their 

 market value. The number of Ex.' s indi- 

 cates the relative excellence of the flowers 

 and their value.

ORNAMENTAL PHTZE ZEA, MAIZE, OK INDIAN CORN. 



Our splendid ornaynental collection of Maize was a^varded the first prize at the Internatio?tal Exhibition of the 

 Royal Horticultural Society, South Kensington. 

 The Zea in all stages of its growth is an effective sub-tropical plant, but pre-eminently so in autumn, when it 

 has attained the height of from 5 to 10 feet. Its long graceful delicate green leaves, rich brown elegant tassellcd 

 croiun, and majestic growth admirably adapts it for massive beds on'the lawn, sub-tropical leaf gardens, shrubberies, 

 select plantations, sides of lakes, on islands, etc. The new variegated Zea, groT.un in pots for the conservatory or 

 table decoration, is as beautiful as the finest of striped foliage stove plants, and for furnishing beds it is unsur- 

 passed. The majestic Zea Cuzko attains a height of from 15 to 20 feet. Caragua is less robust ingrowth but more 

 graceful, while Gracilli?na is the Liliput of the Maize family.

beautifully and regulariy striped with bands of green and pure white, the white tinged rose ; tlie 

 most magnificent and beautiful garden foliage plant yet introduced. For the conservatory it is 

 equally decorative. To have plants of various sizes, adapted for different purposes and situations, 

 sow at various times, and after the \st,.of May sow where the plants are to remain; per pkt.,

in shrubberies and for sub-tropical work ; seed uncertain, but expected, per packet, xs. and 2.S. 6(/. 

 Gracilllma, very elegant in growth, and always of a beautiful fresh green, per pkt. bd., is., and 2S. 6d, 



TUBEROSES. 



The flowers resemble the much-prized Stephanotis ; they are, however, much more fragrant, and bemg per- 

 fectly double, they are more generally useful. If planted in succession, commencing ist January, and continuing 

 till ist June, a supply of cut flowers maybe had from May to November. They should be started in bottom-heat, 

 in succession, from January to May, to secure bloom from August to December. Three or more roots are 

 generally grown in a pot. . 



Treatment, by the growers for Covent Garden.— Pot singly in 5 or 6-inch pots, and plunge m tan 

 or any other gentle bottom-heat, and attend to with water till the flower-buds appear, then remove to a cool house. 

 Tlie bulbs intended for succession are kept on a dry shelf.
