Ixia (African Corn Lily), 
No other species of bulbous plants exhibit such a variety of brilliant 
colours for house or general decoration. They are invaluable as cut flowers, 
and on that account should be extensively grown. Pot the bulbs thickly in 
the Autumn, afterwards place in a cold frame or greenhouse. They may be 
planted outdoor from October to December, in sunny sheltered spots, in a 
light loamy soil, with a protection of cocoa-nut fibre to preserve them from 
severe frcDsts.

La.chena.lia. (Cape Cowsiip). 
Six or seven bulbs planted iu a 7 inch pot afford a charming change to ordinary conservatory plants. The cultural directions are of 
the simplest. Pot, whenever growth commences, in a little sandy peat and loam, .and water freely so long as the leaves are green, but no 
longer. When the pots are full of roots they stand gentle forcing. For outdoor culture they require a w.arm sheltered situation, and, not 
being (juite hardy, should be protected in winter.
