THE LILIUM. 
The Lily is matchless amongst hardy plants for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It com- 
mences flowering in May, and maintains a continuous unbroken succession of bloom from species of different 
countries, till the frosts of autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower buds ; thus it is unequalled for its 
successional display, and is an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons, Pceonias, Double 
Py rethrums, and Herbaceous plants. As a pot-plant the Lily is a general favourite.

HELLEBORUS OR CHRISTMAS AND LENTEN ROSES. 
Plants supplied from October to March. 
Christmas and Lenten Roses are hardy winter-flowering plants, covered with blossoms at a period of the 
year when plants in flower out-doors are a rarity. In this family there is much variety, both in flower and 
loliage, and established plants in flower borders and on rockwork, and as pot-plants, are highly decorative.

HERBACEOUS HARDY JUNE-FLOWERING CHINESE DOUBLE P^IONIAS. 
Plants supplied from October to March. 
These noble plants compete favourably, in general effect, with the finest hybrid Rhododendrons, whether it 
be in variety of tint, diversity of colour, profusion or duration of bloom. With these qualities combined to a 
handsome, massive foliage, accommodating habit, and easy culture, you have a plant to occupy the place of, or to 
associate with, the Rhododendron. These Pceonias succeed in any ordinary garden soil, and are equally adapted 
to intermingle with shrubs, or to take their place amongst herbaceous plants in flower borders and wild gardens.
