fluctuations of a dry atmosphere. Tour plant might have been 
weakly or not established when you received it, in which case 
the plant frequently dies. There should be no difficulty, how¬ 
ever, with a healthy plant under the above conditions.

The common Spindle Tree, Euonymus europaeus. Its wood used 
to be largely employed by country butchers for making skewers, 
and perhaps is still so used. 
Various. — Stella: The plant looks like the Wild Campion 
(Lychnis diurna), but you do not send us a “specimen." It 
would be better to layer the Laurustinus now, or if you take 
cuttings you must put them under a bell-glass in the warmer 
part of the greenhouse. The Bay Laurel is generally propagated 
by layers, but cuttings put in sandy soil and treated like the 
Laurustinus will root freely. The scientific generic name of the 
wireworm is Elater, but there are several species, the most 
common of which are E. striatus, E. obscurus, and E. sanguineus.

T HE BEAUTIFUL EASTER LILY.— 
For festival decorations, and in establishments where a 
quantity of snow-white bloom is required, this lovely Lily is 
invaluable. It can also be readily forced into bloom by Christ¬ 
mas. Magnificent groups were exhibited by us during last 
spring at the Royal Botanic and Crystal Palace Shows, on both 
occasions gaining an important award. These displays were 
pronounced by all who saw them to be the finest exhibits of 
pure white Lilies ever staged. We again hold the entire stock 
of the largest cultivator in Bermuda, and are now supplying 
fine sound bulbs, price Is. and 2s. each, 10s. 6 d. and 21s. per 
dozen, carriage free.
