IXIA. 
No species of bulbous Hovveriiig plants exhibits in one 
family such brilliant colouring as the Ixia, and for cut 
flowers it is invaluable. 
Dry bulbs may be procured from September to December. 
They are quite miniature in size, and it seems remarkable 
that these mites should contain sufticient vigour to put forth 
a prolusion of lovely blooms. If planted in a warm and 
sheltered spot out of doors in the autumn they may be 
expected to flower about June. Ht. from i6 in. to 2 ft. 
Their culture in pots is very easy, and they prefer a nice 
light sandy soil, and the pots should be stood in a cold frame 
until the roots have become active. Should they be placed 
later in the greenhouse to mature, they must have plenty of 
air or the flowers may be scanty.

JONQUIL (or Rush-leaved Daffodil). 
In all its forms is delightful in every collection of spring 
flowers where elegance, beauty, and delicious fragrance are 
the objects sought after. It is useful in a variety of ways 
jiust as the Narcissus, its near relation, is cultivated. The 
flowers are smaller, but they lose none of their great 
attractions on this account, either when grown in pots 
indoors or out in the open ground. The bulbs also being 
smaller, they require to be planted closer together than is 
recommended for the larger species.

LEUCOJUM. 
The Snowflake, with its charming white drooping bells, 
should be much better known as a valuable addition to our 
early spring garden or on the grass. L. Veknum Carpaticum 
is an improved variety, and looks exquisite with its hand¬ 
some white bells, just touched with a spot of green. The 
L. y^STivUM comes into flower in June, and exhibits a very 
neat head with white blooms. These plants prefer a good 
sandy soil, but will grow in any ordinary compost. The 
bulbs are planted as soon as ready in autumn, about 2 in. 
deep and twice as far apart.
