HEPATICA. 
These charming Spring flowers have been favourites in English gardens from time immemorial, but like 
many of our old-fashioned plants, the present generation are comparatively unacquainted with this most chaste 
and lovely spring flower in its best aspect. In our garden of hardy plants we have a series of beds of Hepaticas 
flowering during the spring months, a sheet of blossom — red, pink, blue, purple, and white. Established masses 
or clumps are decorative at once, and are best for flowering in pots. Of these clumps we have single blue, 
single red, and double red, and we recommend them to purchasers in preference to plants.

HEMEROCALLIS (THE DAY-LILY). 
Showy hardy herbaceous plants. The varieties, Fulva and Kwanso, fl. pi., make noble specimens in 
shrubberies, and are exceedingly decorative in semi-wild places. The varieties with silvery foliage are beautiful in 
flower borders, and grown under glass they are as handsome in Spring as the variegated Pandanus. Sieboldiana , 
Flava , Lutea, and Graminea are neat dwarf effective border plants.

TROPjEOLUM. 
Azureum, Jarrattii, Tricolor, Speciosum, and Pentaphyllum, are of slender and rapid growth : and for neat 
trellis work or for globes, they are most charming. Pentaphyllum and Speciosum are hardy, the former succeeding 
in a sunny situation, and the latter requiring a moist atmosphere, soil, and a sunless aspect ; Polyphyllum is also 
hardy, and in a sunny situation is a highly decorative plant covered for months in succession with a profusion of 
large rich golden yellow flowers. each— s. d.

TUBEROSES. 
The flowers resemble the much-prized Stephanotis, but are more fragrant, and being perfectly double are 
more generally useful. If planted in succession, from the 1st of January till July, a supply of cut blooms may be 
had from May to December, and the conservatory filled with the most delicious fragrance. The American roots 
mature late in autumn, and are, therefore, unfit to force till after Christmas. The African roots ready in September. 
Cultural Treatment. — The successful growers for Covent Garden pot singly in 5 or 6-inch pots, and 
plunge in bottom heat, withholding water till the foliage appears, then giving it freely, and growing on in a 
house with a high temperature and a moist atmosphere till the flower buds are developed ; at this stage the plants 
can then be removed to the conservatory or sitting-room. Success in developing the flower spike depends upon a 
uniform moist temperature. The bulbs for early flowering should be potted and plunged in bottom heat as soon 
as they are procured, taking care that the temperature never falls below 60 deg. The bulbs for successional 
plantings may be potted at once, and allowed to make root growth, or they may be kept dry where the tempera- 
ture does not fall below 50 degrees. each— s. d. each— s. d

TIGRIDIA (THE TIGER SPOTTED FLOWER). 
There is no flower more gorgeously coloured than the TigTidia. The petals are self-coloured and the 
oetaloid stigmas and the cup of the flower superbly tiger-spotted, producing a remarkable contrast betuem
