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-ournle, 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 
1 ctl/ 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 flowers. Delay in transit, neg ectuig 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, 
eSPe Cu U LT TOE h llmmed^tdy V the Guems^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 treated the same as recommended for Vallota purpurea. Bulbs of Belladonna Lilies plant 
under a south wall at a depth of one foot. *• a -

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
The Belladonnas in Autumn produce large umbels of beautiful rich, delicately coloured flowers, and in 
Dots are very effective for conservatory decoration. Grown out of doors, plant at a depth of one foot, under a 
Luth" all, or immediately in front of a greenhouse; there, undisturbed, they will annually produce gorgeous 
umbels of flowers. The Varieties Longifolia ( Crinum ) produce large umbels of beautiful funne -shaped sweet- 
scented blossoms, and are admirable plants for flower borders. Candida \Zephyranthes Candida ) 1 he 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 bulb, hardy for 
edgings, and in groups, its rich golden-yellow Crocus-like flowers, expand in Autumn from the jrudst °^a 
bright fresh green foliage. P r °- Z ‘ e “ C

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. '“J-'' d -

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 fiom species of different 
countries till the frosts of autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower bud ; thus it is unequalled for its successional 
display, and is an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons, Paeon.as, Double Byrethrums, 
and Herbaceous plants. _ ,, . ,, , , . j 
Culture Out of DOORS.— In its native habitat the Lily is usually found growing amongst brushwood or 
lone erass in soils of varied texture, but always sweet and well drained ; so that in choosing a situation for
