MUSCARI. 
M. botryoides, the Grape Hyacinth, is remarkable for its dwarf growth and neat compact heads of bloom ; 
the dark blue, clear bright light blue, and pure white varieties, contrast strikingly with each other planted in lines, 
circles, or in beds, ribbons, groups, etc. M. racemosum, the Starch Hyacinth, flowers at the same time as M. 
botryoides, the spikes of bloom in the two species very much resemble each other ; but in racemosum the indi- 
vidual flowers and spikes are somewhat larger and more numerous, foliage more ample, and, on the whole, in a 
bed or group, the richer effect is in favour of racemosum. M. racemosum pallens (new) is less dense in colour, 
a trifle dwarfer, and forms a fine contrast to the darker species, M. racemosum ; both M. botryoides and varieties, 
and M. racemosum and varieties are charming, cultivated in pots. M. moschatum, the Musk Hyacinth, is inef- 
fective, but the flowers are delightfully fragrant, so we recommend them being cultivated in pots. M. plumosum 
monstrosum, the Feathered Hyacinth, flowers latest in this section ; its remarkably handsome plume-like appear- 
ance entitles it to a prominent place in every border. Cultivated in somewhat shady situations, the Muscari 
continue long in bloom, and established masses or lines are very effective.

AMARYLLIS. 
THE FAR-FAMED BELLADONNA AND GUERNSEY LILIES. 
The flowers of the beautiful Guernsey Lily are brilliant scarlet, and in the sun’s rays appear as if spangled 
with gold-dust. The Belladonna Lily is white, flushed with rose-purple, and very handsome. 
These bulbs are generally received from Guernsey early in September, and always showing the flower 
bud. Orders for them should, therefore, be given immediately after the ist and not later than the 15th September. 
When dispatching these to our customers, we examine the Jlowcr-bud of each, discarding such as at the time do not 
give promise of a good flower. Notwithstanding this precaution on our part, delay in transit, not planting 
immediately they are received, or, it may be, an undeveloped defect in the flower-scape, for which we cannot be 
responsible, may lead to partial failure. We therefore recommend those who wish to ensure the enjoyment of 
these charming flowers, as they are so exceedingly cheap, to purchase an extra quantity, and thus avoid 
disappointment and annoyance. 
Cultuke. — Immediately the bulbs with the partially developed flower scapes are received, plant them in 
light soil, prepared cocoa-fibre or moss, and give water liberally. Bulbs supplied after their flowering period 
should be potted and treated same as recommended for Vallota purpurea.

HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
The varieties of Amaryllis in this section are very easily cultivated ; when grown in pots, the protection of 
the most ordinary frame is ample. The varieties of Belladonna are truly charming : their rich coloured blossoms 
strikingly effective in the greenhouse in autumn ; while they and the Longifolia, if planted in a dry south border 
under a wall, or in front of a greenhouse, and left undisturbed when established, will annually produce their large 
showy and beautiful umbels of funnel-shaped flowers. Atamasco, Candida, and Lutea are neat plants of dwarf 
growth, and with beautiful Crocus-like blossoms, which expand in autumn, and are exceedingly effective, 
whether planted several in a pot, or grown in groups in a well-drained border, or in select parts of rockwork. 
Atamasco — the Atamascan Lily — flowers first, next Candida, which is called "The Flower of the West Wind, 
and then Lutea, "The Lily of the Field,” with its rich golden blossoms. Formosissima, the Jacobean Lily, with 
its beautiful rich curiously-shaped flowers, cannot be too strongly recommended for forcing, or for conservator}' 
decoration in summer. Vallota purpurea, or the Scarboro’ Lily, is an invaluable autumn-flowering plant of the 
simplest culture and the highest order of beauty ; those who have no other convenience than a sitting-room 
window can grow it with success, while those who have a greenhouse or a frame should cultivate it in quantity, 
using it for filling vases, furnishing their greenhouse, or to cut for table bouquets, flower baskets, etc.
