Remove to the house when growth is 
\11 advanced, and when the flower buds 
tgin to form, water more freely, and as 
t; buds expand give liquid manure as a 
smulant, or liquid manure and soot 
vter alternately. 
Many amateurs spoil good bulbs by 
jying no attention to them after the 
tiering period is over, for if they are 
t be flowered again it is of the utmost 
lportance that they should be ripened 
c properly. After flowering, remove 
t a cool place and protect from exces- 
• e rain, but at the same time the soil 
:Duld be kept just moist until the stems 
:>en and die down naturally, and then 
: the autumn shake the bulbs out of 
13 pots and re-pot them again into suit- 
;le sized pots, and as a precaution 
;ainst any disease dust each bulb Vith 
fwers of sulphur. 
The best varieties for pot culture are: 
; candidum, L. Harrisii (which may 
<pily be had in flower at Easter, and 
ileed it is often called the Bermuda or 
l.ster Lily) L. longiflorum, L. auratum, 
1 speciosum rubrum, L. s. album, L. s. 
,)um Kraetzeri (the best white), L. s. 
Mpomene, L. B’rowni, L. rubellum, L. 
hnryi, and L. Batemanniae. 
Professor Baker has arranged the dif- 
kent classes into separate divisions, so 
at one may know the correct division 
hch any species may belong to, but the 
alysis is too long to give in this paper, 
i t any good dictionary of gardening 
’ll give it, and a good work on botany 
■11 explain any terms the reader does 
t understand.

f^ose Growing 
— For Amateurs. 
Mr. Arthur H. Rigg, the energetic 
< airman of the Saltaire Rose Society, 
-dyng Nook, West Lane, Baildon, 
brkshire, has been giving a lecture on 
loses Suitable for Cultivation by Ama- 
hrs ” at a meeting of the Saltaire Rose 
ciety. In this he gives much excellent 
formation that would be of service to 
ginners. He is himself an amateur 
10 commenced with a garden and a 
arechal Niel Rose in a small conserva- 
ry nearly twenty years ago. Since then 
• has been planting a few trees every 
ar, and has now over two thousand 
pses, and is still planting more, while 
continues to manage them during his 
are hours. In the course of his lec- 
re he gave a wonderful account, of three 
nateur Rose growers on the way home 
•le evening, when one of them invited 
e other to come and see his Roses by 
mtern light. These enthusiasts were 
well pleased that the other two in turn 
vited his fellow growers, and by the 
me the inspection of the three gardens 
as completed the sun was shining bril- 
! antly, and the birds singing. 
He advised his audience to select an 
>en situation for Roses quite away from 
ees and other bushes. The beds should 
: well drained, and manure should be 
eely used, as Roses were gross feeders 
ben placed under conditions where they’ 
jiuld be healthy. In the smoky district 
Shipley he recommended the following 
R liittle Grown Border Plant 
Hedysarum neglectum. 
A considerable number of species of 
Hedysarum are known to science, but al¬ 
though many’ of them are very’ pretty and 
neat growing plants, very few of them are 
cultivated. At one time the French 
Honeysuckle enjoyed a considerable 
amount of repute in gardens, but al¬ 
though the flowers are larger than those 
of the plant under notice, they’ are by’ no 
means so neat. H. neglectum is a native 
of Siberia, and is very’ neat in habit, even 
when it grows strong. The leaves are 
not unlike those of small Ferns, and 
thickly clothe the stems which reach a 
height of 2 ft. under fairly ordinary con¬ 
ditions in this country. 
The accompanying illustration repre¬ 
sents a plant of this height grown in the 
sandy soil of the rockery’ at Kew. In 
its native country’ it is no doubt dw’arfer, 
as such plants usually are, as they have 
to contend with the native grasses and 
other w’ild plants for the space available. 
In a garden, however, it is of the easiest 
cultivation, and requires only to be 
planted in w’ell-drained soil, after which 
it is practically’ capable of taking care of 
itself. Host of these Pea flowered plants 
root deeply after they, are established, so 
that they’ are not much influenced by 
drought, but give a good return for the 
little attention they require. .The plant 
was photographed during the first week 
of June last. The flowers are of a rich 
rose-purple, and produced in one-sided 
racemes. Each stem produces a number 
of these flow’ering branches from the axils 
of the upper leaves. The plant can be 
increased by division when commencing 
growth in spring, or bv seeds when they 
ripen. 
Hedysarum neglectum. Maclaren and Sons. 
Roses as succeeding under such condi- 
tons: — Mme. Abel Chatenay, Mme. 
Ravary, Alister Stella Gray, The Gar¬ 
land, Jersey’ Beauty, Lady Gay, Blush 
Rambler, Hiawatha, Conrad T. Meyer, 
William Allen Richardson, Gustave Regis 
and Liberty. -Dwarfs, he said, were the 
best to grow in the neighbourhood of 
smoky’ towns in preference to standards 
and half standards. 
He next gave a list of varieties with 
which amateurs could make a commence¬ 
ment, namely, Caroline Testout, Frau 
Karl Druschki, Captain Hayw’ard, Mrs. 
John Laing, Hugh Dickson, Mrs. R. G. 
Sharman Crawford, Ulrich Brunner, 
Victor Hugo. Dean Hole, Florence Pem¬ 
berton, Joseph Hill, Killarney, Lady 
Ashtown, La France, Mme. Abel Chate¬ 
nay, Mme. Ravary, Mrs. W. J. Grant, 
Viscountess Folkestone, Mme. Jules Gra- 
vereaux, Mrs. Myles Kennedy’, Clio, Duke 
of Wellington/ Duke of Edinburgh, 
Jeannie Dickson, Margaret Dickson, Tom 
Wood, Countess of Derby’, Ph'arasaer, 
Richmond, Mrs. Theo. Roosevelt, Prince 
de Bulgarie, La Tosca and Earl of War¬ 
wick. The lecturer gave much useful 
information which we regret lack of space 
prevents publication.
