liilinin Auratunt. 
New Goldeu Baudcd liily. 
A splendid novelty -from Japan, thus described by Pr 
Lindley. editor of the London Gardener's Chronicle:— "If 
ever a flower merited the name of glorious, it is this, which 
stands far above .all other Lilies, whether we regard its size, 
Its sweetness, or its exquisite arrangement of color. Imag- 
ine, upon the end of a purple stem no thicker than a ramrod, 
nnd not above two feet high, a saucer-shaped flower at least 
ten inches in diameter, composed of six spreading, some- 
what crlisp parts, rolled back at their points, and having an 
Ivory-white skin thinly strewn with purple points or studs, 
and oval or ronndisli, prominent, purple stains. To Ibis add 
in the middle of each of the six parts a broad stripe of licht 
satiny yellow, losing Itself gradnallv in the ivorv skin. 
Place the flower in a situation where sidelight is cut off, and 
no direct li^ht ran reach it except from above, when the 
stripes acquire the appearance of gentle streamlets of Aus- 
tralian gold, and the reader wlio lias nut seen it mavform 
some feeble notion of what it is. From this delicious 'flower 
tliere arises the perfume of orance blossome sufficient to till 
a larire room, but so delicate as to respect the weakest 
nerves."— Strong flowering Bulbs, mailed post-paid, to any 
address upon receipt of f^.OO.

As the original introducer of the Hubbard Squash. I am 
prepared to supply every cultivator with rcEE seed. The 
Hul)bard is the dryest, sweetest and richest of all winter 
squashes, and will keep till April. The Turban is the drvest, 
sweetest and richest of all fall squashes, and will keep till 
March. Many of my correspondents are extravagant in their 
praise of this squash— "'Why will people longer raise the 
coarse, watery summer varieties when they can act such a 
sqash as the '1 urban I " The Yokohama, a new squash from 
.Japan, has given threat satisfaction this season ; it is exceed- 
ingly flue grained, very sweet, and of a peculiar marrow-like 
taste. The Para is a bush squash from South America, for 
fall and winter use ; keeping till February. It ri'^enililes in 
qualitv a verv fine crookneck. My seed stock e;inic direcHy
