M. botryoides, the Grape Hyacinth, is remarkable for its dwarf growth and neat compact flower spikes of dark 
blue, clear pearl blue, and pure white. M. racemosum, the Starch Hyacinth, flowers at the same time as M. 
botryoides, but differs from it in the foliage, being recumbent, more ample, and the flower spike larger. The 
varieties Botryoides and Racemosum, grown several in a pot, are charming. M. moschatum, the Musk Hyacinth 
has ineffective, but delightfully fragrant, flowers, and is therefore valued for pot culture. M. plumosum monstrosum’, 
the Feathered Hyacinth, flowers last in this section ; the plume-like appearance of its handsome flowers entitles it 
to a prominent place in every flower border. The Muscari, like the Wood Hyacinth, is a fine plant for naturali- 
zation, continuing long in bloom, and very accommodating as to soil and situation. The varieties of Botryoides 
make charming permanent edgings.

LILY OF THE VALLEY. 
To force for Winter and Spring decoration, the specially prepared clumps which we quote cannot be too 
strongly recommended. In potting these, some growers shake away the soil, and pot in a good compost • others 
prefer potting the clumps as received, taking care, however, to pot tightly, and make sure in watering that the 
moisture penetrates to the centre of the clump. The prepared Berlin single crowns are now largely forced, 20 to 
30 strong crowns in a 5-inch pot ; but the clumps we recommend in preference, as being more certain to succeed. 
For the first time, we offer clumps for forcing of the rose coloured and double flowered Lily of the Valley. 
Cui.tuke. — I n forcing the Lily of the Valley, a moist atmosphere is indispensable, as a dry atmosphere 
causes the crowns, technically speaking, to "go blind;" therefore, to encourage the development of flower and 
foliage simultaneously, most growers place the pots in a partially shaded damp part of the house, or invert a 
flower-pot over the crowns till the flower and the foliage have made some progress ; then the plants are removed 
to a less shady situation. During the whole period of growth abundance of water must be given.

and attractive on the dinner-table, or how useful to cut for table bouquets. Strong clumps are offered for forcing.
