excellent Coloured Plate and a splcsidid article on Free si as appeared in “ The Garden ,‘ f 
July 29 , 1883 . 'The writer of the article has Freesias in flower from Christmas, by starling them 
into growth in succession. The fragrance of these charming flowers is most agreeable, and their 
lasting qualities wonderful. We have known a spike of Refracta alba last three weeks in water , 
and during the whole time diffusing fragrance ,

The Fritillarias are all exceedingly fine border platits. The native species , Meleagris , the Snakeshead 
Fritillaria, has fine pendant bell-shaped flowers, beautifully chequered. Armena is a new species, with 
beautif ul soft yelloiu flowers, and is recommended for naturalization. Pudica and Recurva were 
figured in “ The Garden ," of 1878 and 1880 . Pyrenaica is beautiful, and Pallidiflora is handsome.

The Habranthus is closely allied to the Amaryllis, and has flowers of rare beauty. Prcetensis 
was figured in “ The Garden," 1878 , from plants flowering in the open border in the garden of 
the late Rev. John Nelson, Aldborough Rectory. Plant close to a wall, or in front of a greenhouse , 
at a depth of 9 inches, taking care the drainage is good, or grow in pots in the greenhouse.

,, puniceus, orange-scarlet, 1 ft 4 
,, trigrinus, deep scarlet, 1 ft 2 
It would not be possible to overrate the grandeur of this noble genus ; whether grown in the green- 
house or stove, their large brilliant coloured flower heads are the first to catch the eye amongst a 
collection of plants, however rick and varied the surrounding specimens. Place a blooming plant 
of the glowing Masdevallia igtiea , or M. Veitchii, side by side with Hcemanthus puniceus, and ask 
an observer which is the brightest, freshest, or most effective.

The Hcdychium richly deserves a place in every collection of plants, the fragrant flowers make 
the atmosphere of the plant house exceedingly pleasant. Amongst ferns, the grand foliage and 
yellow flower spikes of Gardnerianum are very imposing.
