DIELYTRA. 
This is the most graceful of plants for early forcing, it is beautiful in the conservatory and especially elegant 
for table decoration. It is a fine border plant when grown in sheltered situations.

SPIRAEA. 
The Spircea Japonica, when forced, is remarkable for its large graceful feathery pure white fragrant flowers, and 
Palmata for its bright red feathery flower spikes. These plants are exceedingly decorative in the conservatory, 
and their flowers are much prized for bouquets. They are also valuable border plants.

FUNKIA {Japanese Hyacinth Lily). 
These are handsome ornamental-foliaged hardy plants from Japan. They develope their leaves early in 
Spring, and in Summer and Autumn throw up a profusion of fine Lily-like flower spikes. Amongst herbaceous 
plants they take a prominent position, owing to the diversity of their foliage, which ranges from the miniature 
to the gigantic. The massive glaucous-green foliage and purple flowers of Sieboldiana; the massive light fresh 
green leaves and snow-white Stephanotis-like flowers of Subcordata grandiflora in Autumn ; the large massive 
green foliage of Ovata, with its distinct deep purple flowers and beautiful variegated variety; than these anything 
more handsome in flower and shrubbery borders or in sub-tropical gardens can hardly be desired. Of the smaller 
leaved varieties, those with golden variegation and those with silver variegation make grand edgings; others 
again with the foliage intermediate in size have representatives with leaves beautifully variegated and of various 
shades of green. Besides these, the three small leaved varieties of Spathulata make neat compact edgings. 
Speciosa has beautiful snow white flowers ; the leaves of the Plantaginifolia are characteristically distinct. For 
naturalization all the Funkias are most valuable, and the large-leaved varieties are beautiful when grown in 
pleasure parks amongst the grass. In shady and somewhat moist situations the foliage attains its largest size. 
For pot culture , we recommend all the variegated leaved varieties , and Spathulata speciosa, Fortunei, Sieboldiana, 
and Subcordata grandiflora. each

HEPATICA. 
These charming Spring flowers have been favourites in English gardens from time immemorial, but like 
many of our old-fashioned plants, the present generation are comparatively unacquainted with this lovely flower 
in its best aspect. In our garden of hardy plants we have a series of beds of Hepaticas flowering during the spring 
months, a sheet of blossom — red, blue, purple, and white. Established masses or clumps are decorative at 
once, or may be flowered in pots ; these we recommend to purchasers in preference to single plants.

HEMEROCALLIS (THE DAY-LILY). 
Showy hardy herbaceous plants. The varieties, Fulva and Kwanso, fl. pi., make noble specimens in 
shrubberies, and are exceedingly decorative in semi-wild places. The varieties with silvery foliage are beautiful in 
flower borders, and grown under glass they are as handsome in Spring as the variegated Pandanus. Sieboldiana, 
Flava, Lutea, and Graminea are neat dwarf effective border plants.
