A FEW RARE AND BEAUTIFUL SPECIES OF CAPE GLADIOLI. 
These species of Gladiolus, we feel sure, will be acceptable to lovers of hardy bulbous plants. Ala/us, 
Galcatus, Gracilis , Hirsutus, Prcccox, and A 'ingens are not quite hardy except in the southern parts of England, 
the west coast of Scotland, and in Ireland ; in less favoured parts than these they should be grown under a south 
wall, or protected in winter with a frame or handlight, or cultivated in pots under glass. The different species 
flower from May to June, except where otherwise stated. Psittacinus and Sulphureus plant in spring, or, if 
planted in autumn, protect with fern or cocoa fibre.

THS GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES. 
The Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies are received by us in budearly in September . The supply being 
always uncertain, orders for them should be given as soon as possible after the 1st, 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 transit, 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.— Immediately 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. each—#,

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
Amaryllis Candida ( Zephyranthes ) “The Flower of the West Wind," throws up in autumn a profusion of 
white Crocus-like flowers. Lutea (Sternbergia), “ The Lily of the Field,” is also a good hardy bulb, for edgings 
and groups, its rich golden-yellow Crocus-like flowers, expanding in Autumn from the midst of a bright fresh 
green foliage. per doz#

VALLOTA PURPUREA, AND THE JACOBEA LILIES. 
Vallota purpurea, known also as "The Scarborough LUy," is most valuable as an Autumn-flowering 
plant, and as a cut flower for filling vases. We recommend it to be planted out of doors in May, and when in 
bud potted up for conservatory decoration. Amaryllis formoslssima, the Jacobea Lily and its variety Glauca, 
are quaintly-shaped and beautiful flowers ; the bulbs force easily, and may be potted in succession for Spring decor- 
ation. In April the dry bulbs can be bedded out or planted in the flower borders for Summer-flowering. each
