RARE AND BEAUTIFUL SDECIES OF CAPE GLADIOLI. 
Of the species contained in the undermentioned collection, Alalus, Galeatus, Gracilis, Hirsutus , Prcecox, and 
Ringens are hardy in the southern parts of England, the west coast of Scotland, and in Ireland ; in less favoured 
parts they should be planted under a south wall, or protected in winter with a frame or handlight, or be grown 
in pots under glass. The other species contained in the collection, namely, Concolor, Dracocephalus, Grandis , 
Mi Hem , Purpureo-auratus , Roseus, Sulphurous , Teneltus, Tristis, Vinulus, Watsonianus , and Xanthospilus,

AMARYLLIS. 
Under this heading are arranged plants, differing very much in character , and requiring separate treatment. 
THE GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES. 
The Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies are generally received by us early in September, when the flower- 
buds have appeared above ground. 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 Guernsey 
and Belladonna Lilies, we carefully examine the flxnoer buds, and send only such bulbs as give promise of good 
flmvers. Delay in transit, neglect on the part of purchasers to plant immediately, or, perhaps an un- 
developed defect in the flower bud sometimes load to partial failures, and as we cannot hold our- 
selves responsible for such contingencies, purchasers are in consequence recommended to buy an extra quantity 
of bulbs, as they are 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— s. d .

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
Amaryllis Candida ( Zephyranthes ), "The Flower of the West Wind,” throws up in autumn a profusion of 
white Crocus-like flowers. Lutea (Slernbergia), "The Lily of the Field,’’ is also a good bulb, for edgings and 
groups, the golden-yellow Crocus-like flowers rise in Autumn from the midst of a bright green foliage.

VALLOTA PURPUREA, AND THE JACOBEA LILIES. 
Vallota purpurea, known also as "The Scarborough Lily,” 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 formosissima, the Jacobea Lily and its variety Glauca, 
are quaintly-shaped beautiful flowers ; the bulbs force easily, and may be potted in succession for Spring decor- 
ation. In April the dry bulbs can be planted out in flower beds or borders for Summer-flowering. each
