THE GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES. 
/t^T The Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies arc received by ns in bud early in September. The supply being 
always uncertain, orders for them should be given as soon as possible, and not later than the 15th September. 
When executing orders for the Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies , we carefully examine the flower -buds , 
and send only such bulbs as give promise of good flowers. Delay in tiansit, neglecting to plant immediately, 
or, perhaps, an undeveloped defect in the flower bud, often leads to partial failure, and as we cannot hold 
ourselves responsible for such contingencies, purchasers are recommended to buy an extra quantity, as the roots 
are so very inexpensive. 
Culture. — I mmediately the Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies are received, pot them in light soil, prepared 
cocoa-fibre or moss, and give water liberally. Bulbs of Guernsey Lilies, purchased after the flowering season, 
should be potted and grown under glass. Bulbs of Belladonna Lilies may be planted under a south wall at a 
depth of one foot, and when established will flower annually.
