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 formoslsslma, 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 April the dry bulbs can be bedded out or planted in the flower borders for Summer-flowering. each

( HOK E 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 tn bloom for many months. The unnamed seedlings we 
specially recommend ; they are from the best collection in Europe, and cannot fail to please, both as regards 
variety of colour, size, and beauty of flower. The bulbs offered arc large and full grown, ready to flower. 
Culture.— Immediately after potting, place in a moist warm temperature if at command, and, if con- 
venient, plunge the pot to the rim in a gentle, steady, moist bottom heat : thus treated, a vigorous leaf growth 
is produced, and a strong stem with a large umbel of large flowers secured. In the absence of bottom heat 
the plant does well in any ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window.

THE LILIUM. 
THE LILY is matchless amongst hardy plants for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It is 
an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons and Paeonias, and in borders amongst 
Herbaceous plants. As a pot-plant the Lily is a general favourite. We enumerate here only a few popular 
showy kinds, but a fuller list, with cultural notes, will be found in our Daffodil Catalogue, at,d a complete list 
may be had on application.
