HARDY AMARYLLIS. 
The Amaryllis, under this heading, are all valuable plants. The varieties of Belladonna yield in Autumn 
large umbels of beautiful rich, fresh coloured flowers, and are very effective in the conservatory. When grown 
out of doors, they succeed best close under a south wall, or immediately in front of a greenhouse; and if left 
undisturbed, will annually produce gorgeous umbels of lovely flowers. The varieties of Longifolia, are grand 
border plants, producing large umbels of beautiful funnel-shaped sweet-scented blossoms. Candida [Zephyranthes 
Candida) “The Flower of the West Wind,” is valuable as an edging, and decorative ingroups, throwing up in 
autumn a profusion of white Crocus-like flowers. Lutea [Sternbergia tinea ), “The Lily of the Field,” is charming 
as an edging, and beautiful in groups. In Autumn, when its large Croeus-like rich yellow flowers are expanded, 
these, combined with the bright fresh green foliage, form a very pleasing combination. Both Amaryllis Candida, 
and lutea, are valuable rock plants.

VALLOTA PURPUREA AND THE JACOBCEAN LILY. 
Amaryllis purpu-ea, or as it is better known, Vailota purpurea or Scarborough Lily, is one of our most 
beautiful Autumn-flowering plants. Its rich scarlet blossoms are highly appreciated in the conservatory or 
sitting-room Window, and to cut for filling vases. Amaryllis formosissima, or the Jacobaean Lily, is a quaint- 
looking beautiful flower ; it forces well, and if manaeed properly will flower several times in the season. When 
kept dry during the winter, it may be bedded out or planted in the flower borders in May. each.

CHOICE GREENHOUSE AMARYLLIS. 
The Amaryllis is a decorative plant in the conservatory, valuable for table decoration, and beautiful for 
furnishing vases and jardinets, or to cut for table bouquets. With management the varieties of this section of 
Amaryllis may be had in bloom throughout the year. Cleopatra, with its crimson scarlet flowers and central 
white line in each petal, combined with its robust constitution and line formed flower, we recommend as one of 
the very best.

NERINE. 
These are all hardy, but like the Vailota purpurea they require the protection of a frame or greenhouse during 
winter to encourage the development of the foliage. The beautiful Guernsey Lily ( Nenne Sarniensis), so well- 
known and so highly prized, is the typical plant of this group. The varieties, however, of Fothergilli and Corusca 
surpass it in beauty. The flowers have all the beautiful appearance of being spangled with gold dust.

These are all pretty bulbous plants. Candida, the “Flower of the West Wind,” throws up its beautiful 
silvery Crocus-like blossoms in August and September, and makes a charming edging, also beautiful on rock work 
and in flower borders. All the varieties make nice pot plants.
