A FEW RARE AND BEAUTIFUL SPECIES OF CAPE GLADIOLI. 
The species of Gladiolus offered below we feel sure will be acceptable to lovers of bulbous plants. They 
•are all quite hardy except Alatus, Galea’ us , Gracilis, H irsutus, Prcecox, and R ingens. In the milder parts of 
England, the west coast of Scotland, and in Ireland, these are hardy, but in less favoured parts they should be 
grown under a south wall, or protected in winter with a frame or handlight., or cultivated in pots under glass.

AMARYLLIS. 
Under this heading are arranged plants, differing very much in character , and requiring separate treatment . 
THB GUERNSEY AND BELLADONNA LILIES. 
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 1 st, and not later than the 
15 th September. When executing orders for the Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies , we carefully examine the 
flower-buds, and send only such bulbs as give promise of good flowers. Delay in transit, neglecting to plant 
immediately, or, perhaps, an undeveloped defect in the flower bud, 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. — I mmediately 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 may be planted under a south wall at a 
depth of one foot, and when established will flower annually. each—*, d .

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
Amaryllis Candida (Zephyr anthes) “The Flower of the West Wind," throws up in autumn 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. Amaryllis longifolia vars. (Crinum) produce, late in Summer, large umbels of large beautiful 
funnel-shaped sweet-scented blossoms. It is perfectly hardy, and valuable to plant in mixed flower borders.
