flowers are quite as double, and almost as pure and per¬ 
fect as those of the Camellia, and when we remember 
that they mass around a column from three to five feet in 
height, we get some idea of their beauty. Seeds sown 
in the spring produce plants that will bloom the second 
summer. Plants set out in the spring will flower about 
midsummer, and for several years if not allowed to bloom 
too freely the first year. We have excellent, healthy 
young plants, grown from seed, that if planted in the 
spring will flower the first summer, and usually for two 
or three summers after. The colors arc nicely assorted, 
so that almost every color, from white to purple, may be 
expected.

HYACINTHUS CANDICANS. 
Hyacinthus candicans. This plant has a noble 
appearance, somewhat resembling the Yucca, 
although not so large. It throws up a flower- 
stem about four feet high, on which it bears 
from twenty to thirty pure white, bell-shaped 
flowers. They are very gracefully hung, form¬ 
ing almost a perfect pyramid. The bulbs are 
quite hardy, but it is well to give them a 
slight covering for winter. Good bulbs, each, 25 
IBERIS. 
Iberis gigantea alba, (New Hardy White Candy¬ 
tuft,) an excellent plant for cemetery decora¬ 
tion, bedding, or house culture. The flowers are 
about twice the size of the old species, and 
pure white. Plants, each,. 25 
IVY. 
For a climbing plant in the garden to do duty as a 
screen for an old wall or building, or to adorn either 
when new, it is a well-known and favorite plant. For 
in-door winter decoration the Ivy is unequaled, as it 
can be trained in any desired form, and will bear any 
amount of hardship and bad usage. The Ivy is not 
quite hardy far north, but plants that have done service 
in the garden all summer can be taken up in the autumn 
and potted for the house. In the spring, the plants can 
be transferred to the garden, by just sinking the pots in 
the earth. In the autumn they are ready for service in 
the house again, and better than ever.

LOBELIA. 
The Lobelia cardinalis, Cardinal Flower, is one of 
our native plants found in moist ground, and on the 
banks of small streams all over the country. The plant 
is remarkable for the bright color of its flowers, being 
a most brilliant deep scarlet. It becomes much im¬ 
proved by cultivation, and is well worthy a place in 
every collection of perennials.
