SPARAXIS. 
Mr. Saunders, of Guernsey, writing some years ago with reference to the Sparaxis, remarked that enthu- 
siastic florists unaccustomed to see these in bloom scarcely knew which to admire most. So great, indeed, was 
their ecstatic delight at the immense variety of the colours and the gorgeousness of the hues, that he had seen the 
knee bent and gymnastics performed without feeling at liberty to condemn the performers. The Sparaxis is dwarf 
and compact in growth, imparting a very pretty effect in decoration, and in colour and formation of flower totally 
distinct from the Ixia. For pot culture they are charming.

TRITONIAS. 
These in habit and growth very much resemble the Sparaxis, being dwarf and compact ; but the colours are 
less varied in character, being principally seifs. Their beauty is of the highest order, and as associates with the 
Sparaxis in all matters of decoration, they cannot be too highly recommended. T. crocata is the best known 
amongst these through Mr. Fleming, at Cliveden, having grown them by thousands, from six to a dozen in a 
pot, for furnishing jardinets during the spring and early summer months.

BAB IAN AS. 
Here we have plants in habit and growth similar to the Sparaxis and Tritonia, hut as diverse in colour from 
these as it is possible, and with dark green hirsute foliage ; so that, apart from their intrinsic and distinctive 
beauty, as a contrast they cannot be too strongly recommended to associate with these in all the different styles 
of in-door decoration for which such plants are annually becoming more extensively used.

THE RANUNCULUS. 
A truly elegant and beautiful flower, combining with the most, diversified shades and colours an exquisite 
symmetry and compactness. As a cut flower it is quite as useful as the Rose ; while for bedding, ribboning, 
massing, and edging, in separate or distinct colours, the effect produced in spring is magnificent.
