AMARYLLIS. 
Under this heading there are plants arranged very different 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 umbels of many blossoms. 
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 1st, and not later than the 
15th September. When executing orders for the Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies , we carefully examine the 
flower-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-scape, 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 plant under a south wall at a depth of 
one foot. g d

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 Longifolia [Crinuin) produce large umbels of beautiful funnel-shaped sweet- 
scented blossoms, and are admirable planted in mixed flower borders. Candida ( Zephyranthes 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 (Sternbergia lutea), “The Lily of the Field," is also a good 
hardy bulb, for edgings, and in groups, its rich golden-yellow Crocus-like flowers, expand in Autumn i'rom 
the midst of a bright fresh green foliage. per doz. eaoh.

VALLOTA PURPUREA AND THE JACOBEA LILY. 
Vallota purpurea, known also as 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-i. i.

CHOICE GREENHOUSE AMARYLLIS. 
These are grand plants in the conservatory, and to cut for table bouquets and vases. With management, 
these magnificent Amaryllis may be had in bloom for many months. The unnamed seedlings offered we 
specially recommend ; they are from the most advanced collection in Europe, and cannot fail to please, both as 
regards variety of colour and beauty of flower. 
Culture. — Immediately after potting, place in a moist temperature, and, if convenient, plunge the pot to 
the rim in a gentle, steady, moist bottom heat ; thus treated, a vigorous leaf growth is produced, and a large 
umbel of flowers secured.
