AMARYLLIS, GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES, AND THE LILIUM. 25 
AMARYLLIS. 
Under this heading are arranged plants , different very much in character , and requiring separate treatment. 
THE GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES. 
fiST" 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 the 
/ lower-buds , and send only such plants as give promise of good Jlowers. Delay in transit, neglecting to plant 
immediately, or, perhaps, an undeveloped defect in the flower bud, often leads to partial failure, and as wc 
cannot hold ourselves responsible for such contingencies, purchasers are recommended to buy an extra quantity, 
as the roots are so very inexpensive. 
Culture. — I mmediately the Guernsey and Belladonna Lllios 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. $. d .

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
Amaryllis 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 ), 
“ 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. The varieties of Amaryllis 
Longifolia (Crinum) produce large umbels of beautiful funnel-shaped sweet-scented blossoms, and being per- 
fectly hardy, are admirable to plant in mixed flower borders. per doz. each.

VALLOTA PURPUREA, AND THE JACOBEA LILIES. 
Vallota purpurea, known also as “The Scarborough Lily,” is most valuable as an Autumn-flowering 
plant, and as a cut flower for filling vases. We recommend it to be planted out of doors in May, and when in 
bud potted up for conservatory decoration. Amaryllis formosissima, the Jacobea Lily and its variety Glauca, 
are quaintly-shaped beautiful flowers, they force well, and should be potted in succession for Spring decor- 
ation. In May the dry bulbs can be bedded out or planted in the flower borders for Summer-flowering.

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. The bulbs are large, full grown, and ready to 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.

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 unexpended flower buds ; thus it is unequalled for its 
successional display, and is an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons, Pa onias, Double 
Pyrethrums, and Herbaceous plants. As a pot-plant the Lily is a general favourite.
