CHOICE GREENHOUSE AMARYLLIS, AND THE LILIUM. 
CHOICE GREENHOUSE AMARYLLIS (hippeastrum). 
These are grand plants in the conservatory, and to cut for table bouquets and vases. With management, 
these magnificent Amaryllis may be had in bloom for many months. The unnamed seedlings quoted, we 
specially recommend ; they are from the best collection in Europe, and cannot fail to please, as regards variety 
of beautiful colours, and large size of flowers. The bulbs we send out are large arid full grown, ready to bloom 
in Spring. 
Culture. — Immediately after potting, place in a moist warm temperature if at command, and, if con- 
venient, plunge the pot to the rim in a gentle, steady, moist bottom heat ; thus treated, a vigorous leaf growth 
is produced, and a strong stem with a large umbel of large flowers secured. In the absence of bottom heat 
these Amaryllis do well in any ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window. Dr. Bonavia recommends 
that the offsets should not be removed, but kept with the parent plant, till from six to a dozen spikes of bloom 
be had from the same pot ; he also recommends that on the South Coast of England and in many parts of 
Ireland and the West Coast of Scotland, these beautiful Amaryllises should be grown outside, under south walls, 
planted one foot beneath the surface, and protected with litter or leaves during winter.

THE LILIUM. 
THE LILY is matchless amongst hardy plants for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It is 
an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons and Pseonies, and in borders amongst 
Herbaceous plants. As a pot-plant the Lily is a general favourite. We enumerate here only a few popular 
s owy kinds, but a fuller list, with cultural notes, will be found in our Daffodil Catalogue, and a complete list 
may be had on application.
