New Ooldeu Sanded Lily. 
A splendid novelty from Japan, thus described by Dr. 
Lindley, editor of the London Gardener’s Chronicle ;-L“ if 
ever a flower merited the name of glorious, it Is this, ivhlcli 
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 uo-thickerthan a ramrod, 
and not above two feet high, a saucer-shaped flower at least 
ten inches in diameter, composed of six spreading, somer 
what crisp parts, rolled back at their points, and having an 
ivory-ivliite skin thinly strewn with purple points or studs, 
and oval or roundish, prominent, purple stains. To this add 
in the middle of each of the six parts a broad stripe of light 
satiny yellow, losing Itself gradually in the ivory skin. 
Place the flower in a situation where side-light is cut off, and 
no direct light can reach It except fi om above, when the 
stripes acquire the appearance of gentle streamlets of Aus- 
triilian gold, and the reader who has not seen It mavform 
some feeble notion of what it is. From this delicious flower 
there arises the perfume of orange blossoms sufficient to fill 
a large room, but so delicate as to respect the weakest 
nerves.”—Strong flowering Bulbs, mailed post-paid, to any

Para, Turban, Hubbard, Yokohama! 
As the original introducer of the Hubbard Squash, I am 
prepared to simply every cultivator with pure seed. The 
Hubbard is the di-yest, sweetest and richest of all winter 
squashes, and will keep till April. The Turban is the dryest. 
sweetest and richest ol 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 get such a 
sqash as the Turban ! ” The Yokohama, n new squash from 
Japan, has given great satisfaction this season ; It is exceed¬ 
ingly fine grained, very sweet, and of a peeiilinr marrow-like 
taste. The Para is a bush squash from South America, for 
fall and winter use ; keeping till Fchruary. It resembles in 
qiialitv a very fine crookneck. My seed stock came directly 
li-om Para and is pure. All these varieties yield abundantly. 
Ten tons of Hubbard and eight tons of Tiirban have been 
raised to the acre.—Package's of seed of each of these va¬ 
rieties, sent post-paid to any address for 13 cts. Hubbard 
sent by the B. for $2.23. Turban sent hy the lb. for $3.50.
