♦Monlbrelia PoUsii.— A new aud very handsome snmmer 
blooming bulb -svith numerous bright scarlet flow- 
ers in spikes. The bulbs should be taken up in 
autumn and kept in dry soil, as we have not found 
it hardy ^vith us, though it will probably be so

This genuH has for a long time been one of the most useful for furnish- 
ing flowers iu tho early spring months. All the species are of easy cul- 
tivation and are hardy here in tho opeu ground, except whero noted. They 
are well adapted for forcing and may be planted in pots and placed in a 
cold-frame or cool collar, and brought into the house as needed for flow- 
ering. The cheaper sorts may be used effectively for naturalizing among 
shrubs, or planting in grass, where they readily grow and bloom, and tho 
tops dying down will leave the grass as a protection to tho bulbs. In 
order to secure the best effect, allow tho bulbs to remain in tho same 
place for several years to get woU established clumps, in fact thoy need 
not be taken up at all, so long as the flowers are produced abundantly. 
For convenience of determination we have divided tho genus into throe 
sections according to tho classiflcadon of Mr. Baker, who has made a 
special study of these plants. Fall, from September to December, is the 
only proper time to move the bulbs. "Wo invite our friends and cnstomera
