MISCELLANEOUS BULBS AND TUBERS. 
Under this general heading we have classified, in alphabetical order, a great many species and varieties 
of general interest, one or other of which at nearly every season of the year is in itself an object of 
attraction. We especially recommend them to those whose taste for the cultivation of flowers extends 
beyond such as are merely grown for general effect. 
Among them will be found sorts suitable both for pot and border culture ; others, again, for rock-work 
or similar situations, while several of those which attain a sufficient height, as the Tritomas, Arums, Ac., 
may judiciously be planted in connection with shrubs, or as special groups on lawns, or in flower borders. 
AGAPANTHUS UMBELLATUS (AFRICAN LILY). 
An exceedingly effective plant blooming in August and September, and combining with graceful 
foliage large handsome heads of bloom. For the decoration of the conservatory, portico, terrace, iawn, 
gravel walk, sub-tropical garden, or for the side of a lake or pond, the Agapanthus is invaluable.
