AMARYLLIS. 
Under this heading are arranged plants, different very much in character , and requiring separate treatment . 
THE GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES. 
The flowers of the Guernsey Lily are brilliant scarlet, and when seen with the sun’s rays on them have the 
appearance of being spangled with gold-dust. The flowers of the Belladonna Lily are large, pure white, 
flushed rose-purple , and produced in large umbels of many blossoms. 
\figr~ The Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies are received by us in bud early in September . The supply being 
always uncertain, orders for them should be given as soon as possible after the ist, and not later than the 
15th September. When executing orders for the Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies , we carefully examine Vie 
Hower-buds, and send only such plants as give promise of good flowers. Delay in transit, neglecting to plant 
immediately, or, perhaps, an undeveloped defect in the flower bud, often leads to partial failure, and as we 
cannot hold ourselves responsible for such contingencies, purchasers are recommended to buy an extra quantity, 
as the roots are so very 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. *• a -

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
The Belladonnas in Autumn produce large umbels of beautiful rich, delicately coloured flowers, and in 
pots are very effective for conservatory decoration. Grown out of doors, plant at a depth of one foot, under a 
south wall, or immediately in front of a greenhouse; there, undisturbed, they will annually produce gorgeous 
umbels of flowers. The varieties of Longifolia ( Crinurn ) produce large umbels of beautiful funnel-shaped sweet- 
scented blossoms, and being perfectly hardy, are admirable to plant in mixed flower borders. Candida \Zephy- 
ranthes Candida) "The Flower of the West Wind," is a neat edging plant, and decorative in groups ; in autumn 
it throws up a profusion of white Crocus-like flowers. Lutea Angustifolia [Sternberg! a), “ The Lily of the Field,’' 
is also a good hardy bulb, for edgings, and groups, its rich golden-yellow Crocus-like flowers, expanding in 
Autumn from the midst of a bright fresh green foliage. l>«r doz. each.

VALLOTA PURPUREA, AND THE JACOBEA LILY. 
Vallota purpurea, known also as "The Scarborough Lily," is most valuable as an Autumn-flowering plant, 
and as a cut flower for filling vases. Amaryllis formosissima, the Jacobea Lily, is a quaintly-shaped beautiful 
flower, and forces well, it should be potted in succession for Spring decoration. In May the dry bulbs can be 
bedded out or planted in the flower borders for Summer-flowering. Vallota purpurea we recommend to be 
planted out of doors in May, and when in bud potted up for conservatory decoration. each—#, d.
