§CONVALLARIA. The species we offer 
here is the well-known Solomon’s Seal ; 
forced during the Spring months, this 
plant is exceedingly valuable for con- 
servatory and table decoration, its long 
graceful arched stems and profusion of 
whitish-green flowers rendering it an 
object of no ordinary attraction.

§DIELYTRA, one of the most graceful 
plants cultivated. If forced it can be 
had in bloom very early in spring, and 
nothing at the period can excel in 
beauty its long elegant sprays of lovely 
heart-shaped red flowers. It is also 
an excellent border plant in sheltered 
situations.

§DOG’S TOOTH VIOLETS (Erythronium), 
charming early-blooming little plants, 
with beautifully spotted leaves ; should

beds and flower borders. The roots

sand.

^[EUCHARIS, no garden of any pretension 
should be without its supply of this 
most valuable plant; its culture is 
simple, and like the family of which it 
is a member (Amaryllidem), it may be 
had in bloom at pleasure. Nothing can 
exceed in beauty its deliciously fragrant 
snow-white blossoms, and no flower is, 
perhaps, more durable. A stove or warm 
greenhouse is necessary to bring it 
into bloom, then it may be removed to 
the sitting-room, or used for the decora- 
tion of the dinner table. At the Inter- 
national Horticultural Botanical Flower 
Show of May, 180G, two large pots of 
E. amazonica elicited, perhaps, more 
admiration than any class of objects 
there exhibited.

the number of roots in each pot. 
§FUNKIA, very ornamental border plants,
