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-purple, and produced in umbels of many blossoms. 
Ctfi" The Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies are received by us early in September in bud. The supply being 
always uncertain, orders for them should be given as soon as possible after the 1st, and not later than the 
15th September. When executing orders for the Guernsey and Belladonna Lilies , we carefully examine the 
flower-bud of each, and send only such as give promise of good flowers. Delay in transit, neglecting 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, 
especially as the roots are so very inexpensive. 
Cultuke.— 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 treated the same as recommended for Vallota purpurea. Bulbs of Belladonna Lilies plant 
under a south wall at a depth of one foot. d

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
The Belladonnas in Autumn produce large umbels of beautiful rich, delicately coloured flowers, and in 
pots are very effective for conservatory decoration. Grown out of doors, plant at a depth of one foot, under a 
south wall, or immediately in front of a greenhouse ; there, undisturbed, they will annually produce gorgeous 
umbels of flowers. The varieties Longifolia ( Crinum ) are fine, produce large umbels of beautiful funnel-shaped 
sweet-scented blossoms, and are admirable plants for flower borders. Candida [Zephyrantkes Candida) “The 
Flower of the West Wind," is a neat edging plant, and decorative planted in groups ; in autumn it throws up 
a profusion of white Crocus-like flowers. Lutea ( Stcrnbergia lutca), “ The Lily of the Field,” is also a good bulb 
for edgings, and in groups, its rich golden-yellow Crocus-like flowers, expand in Autumn from the midst of a 
bright fresh green foliage ; it is perfectly hardy. per doz. each.

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, and 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.
