These bulbs are generally received from Guernsey early in September, and always showing the flower- 
bud. Orders for them should, therefore, be given immediately after the 1st and not later than the 15th September. 
When dispatching these to our customers, we examine the Jlowcr-bud of each, discarding such as at the time do not 
give promise of a good flower. Notwithstanding this precaution on our part, delay in transit, not planting 
immediately they are received, or, it may be, an undeveloped defect in the flower-scape, for which we cannot be 
responsible, may lead to partial failure. We therefore recommend those who wish to ensure the enjoyment of 
these charming flowers, as they are so exceedinglyvlbheap, to purchase ajt.^xtra quantity^ and thus aijpid 
disappointment and annoyance. , If J ■ / u

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
The varieties of Amaryllis in this section are very easily cultivated ; when grown in pots, the protection of 
the most ordinary frame is ample. The varieties of Belladonna are truly charming : their rich coloured blossoms 
strikingly effective in the greenhouse in autumn ; while ttocy and the Longifolia, if planted in a dry south border 
under a wall, or in front of a greenhouse, and left undisturbed when established, will annually produce their large 
showy and beautifid umbels of funnel-shaped flowers. Candida and I-utea are neat plants of dwarf growth, and 
exceedingly effective in autumn, when their beautiful Crocus-like blossoms expand, whether planted several in a 
pot, or grown in groups in a well-drained border, or in select parts of rockwork. t hey blossom in succession ; 
first Candida, and then Lutea. Candida is called "The Flower of the West Wind, and Lutea, "The Lily of 
the Field." Formosissima, the Jacobean Lily, with its beautiful rich curiously-shaped flowers, cannot be too 
strongly recommended for forcing, or for conservatory' decoration in summer. Vallota purpurea, or the -Scarboro 
Lily, is an invaluable autumn-flowering plant of the simplest culture and the highest order of beauty ; those who 
have no other convenience than a sitting-room window can grow it with success, W'hile those who have a green- 
house or a frame should cultivate it in quantity, using it for filling vases, furnishing their greenhouse, or to cut for 
table bouquets, flower baskets, etc.

LILIUM. 
Lilium Speciosum Imperiale, as Siebold has designated the magnificent Lily, which is better known among 
us as Lilium Auratum or the Golden-rayed Japanese Queen of Lilies, has been instrumental in popularizing 
one of the richest, most interesting, and beautiful families of hardy summer flowering bulbous plants, so that an 
impetus has been given to our botanical collectors to ransack what are known as the habitats of the Lily in
