DESCRIPTION OP ILLUSTRATIONS 
Upon page 1 is a delightful sketch of a window 
garden, sent us by one of our subscribers from 
Milford, N. H. It is of remarkable beauty, the 
flowers and vines being extremely luxuriant. We 
would be glad to hear more from the fair lady, un¬ 
known to. us, who has sent so beautiful a sketch. 
Upon page 4 is a sketch of the rustic seat, bridge, 
and grounds at the country house of the poet, Wil¬ 
liam Cullen Bryant, at Roslyn, L. I. 
Upon page 5 is a pretty group of butterflies, flow¬ 
ering vines, etc., arranged in a charming picture- 
frame. 
Upon page 9 is a scene of childhood’s joys: a little 
child in a humble home is eating her bread and 
throwing the crumbs to the doves and pigeons, who 
are coming in flocks with perfect freedom and fami¬ 
liarity. 
Upon page 12 are several suggestions in household 
ornaments—a vase placed beside a picture-frame 
contains climbing vines, whose tendrils creep all 
around, and make the whole more charming. 
Our ladies will at sight see the wall pockets and 
bags, and know how to knit or embroider them. 
contrast with the dark red tint of the Gladiolus, and 
this grows just the height to enable the Hyacinth to 
exceed it by nearly the whole length of the flower- 
spike. For this purpose it is advisable to select Hya- 
cinthus Candicans, first size bulbs, and Gladiolus 
Brenchleyensis, second size bulbs. We consider 
Hyacinthus Candicans, which flowers during a period 
of several weeks in July and August, one of the best 
ornamental plants for gardens and parks, and can 
especially recommend the above-described arrange¬ 
ment. The flowers of this Hyacinth are very suitable 
for bouquet-making. 
The Hyacinthus Candicans was shown by our firm 
at the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, 1876, 
and the grand prize medal with diploma awarded 
“ for very perfect display of Gladiolus Brenchleyensis 
[of which a very large bed was planted] and fine 
flowered plants of Hyacinthus Candicans, a new 
ornamental Hyacinth of stately growth, producing 
large white flowers,” etc. This Hyacinth is treated 
in the same way as the Gladiolus: it is taken out of 
the ground in autumn, stored during winter in a dry 
place, safe from frost, and planted in spring.— Con¬ 
tributed to Case’s Botanical Index. 
A MURDEROUS SEA-FLOWER. 
One of the exquisite wonders of the sea is called 
the Opelet, and is about as large as the German 
Aster, with a great many long petals of a light-green 
color, glossy as satin, and each one tipped with rose 
color. These lovely petals do not lie quietly in their 
places, but wave about in the water, while the Opelet 
clings to a rock. How innocent and lovely it looks 
on its rocky bed! Who would suspect that it would 
eat anything grosser than dew or sunlight 0 ? But 
these beautiful waving arms, as you call them, have 
use besides looking pretty. They have to provide 
for a large, open mouth, which is hidden down deep 
among them—so hidden that one can scarcely find 
it. Well do they perform their duty, for the instant 
a foolish little fish touches one of the rosy tips, he is 
struck with poison as fatal to him as lightning. He 
immediately becomes numb, and in a moment stops 
struggling, and then the other arms wrap themselves 
around him, and he is drawn into the huge, greedy 
mouth, and is seen no more. Then the lovely arms 
unclose and wave again in the water.

PREMIUMS. 
Loslie’s 
LILIUM THUNBERGIANUM BATE- , 
MANAI. 
HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 
This is a new lily, very distinct and beautiful in 
bloom,-of a ricli orange apricot color, with tlie extra¬ 
ordinarily fine form of Liliurn Elegans var Anne- 
niseum; later in flower, and growing four feet high, 
bearing from six to ten flowers on a stem. 
It is a first-class lily for autumn decoration, a 
charming companion for the varieties of Speciosiun 
and Tigrinum, none of which possess the peculiar 
color of this charming novelty. 
This really excellent garden plant has been in 
magnificent bloom in our nursery this summer, and 
was admired during a long period daily by the nume¬ 
rous visitors to our establishment. We had a large 
bed of the pure white-flowering Hyacinth, edged by 
a broad border of Giadiolus Brenchleyensis, which 
was particularly admired. A most splendid effect 
has been obtained by this combination. The pure 
white color of the Hyacinth makes the most striking 
A Remarkable Rose-Bush adorns the cottage 
of Mrs. S. A. Randall, of Santa Barbara, California. 
It was planted in 1858, and is of the Lamarque 
variety—one of the most beautiful of the white roses. 
Imagine a bouquet of white roses twenty-five feet 
high and twenty-two feet across, beautifully rounded, 
with a blossoming surface of four hundred square 
feet, with four thousand full-blown roses and twenty 
thousand buds!
