Theighbors ft., with flowers 5 to 7 in. across. 
Susiana, growing to the height of 2 ft , and 
producing flowers of immense size, greyish 
blue, netted and veined with dark chest- 
nut, is most noble and striking. Pavonia 
(the Vieusseuxia, or Peacock Iris), white, 
with a bright blue spot on each petal, is 
exceedingly pretty and novel, and charm- 
ingly effective in bouquets, vases, &c. ; 
well worthy of a place in every garden. 
— THE AMARYLLIS. — 
The Amaryllis (derived from a Greek 
word signifying splendor) includes some of 
‘the most richly beatuiful of all plants, The 
family is large, and contains superb speci- 
mens. ‘They are easily grown, but many 
of them are better suited for pot culture 
than the opefi border. Some of the most 
desirable are :— 
Belladonna with its fragrant silvery 
rose flowers ; produced in autumn, when 
ordinary flowers are scarce. 
Ciliaris (Buphane—Venus’ Lily),.— 
Orange. 
Falcata (Ammocharis).— Rose. 
THE AUSTRALIAN GARDENER. 
Gigantea (Brunsvigia Josephine), the 
Candelabra flowers.— Crimson. 
Incarnata (Coburghia).— Orange Red. 
Purpurea (Vallotta or Scarborough {¥ 
Lily).—Deep blood red. 
Purpurea Major.—Similar to above but 
a little larger. 
Formosissima (Sprekelia).—Dark scar- 
let. 
Although expensive bulbs, they make 
agrand display, and are well worthy of 
cultivation. 
— TUBEROSES. --: 
The Polianthes (Tuberose) with its tall 
spikes and sweet perfume connot be over- 
looked. It is only of late years this plant 
has attained its great popularity. In the 
hill districts,’or for greenhouse, frame, or 
shadehouse, it is a treasure, but is scarcely 
suitable for open border on the plains, 
unless it is in protected sitnations and well 
supplied with water, For cut flowers it is 
most useful, as like the Gladiolus the 
smallest buds will open in. water after the 
spikes are cut (Illustrated).
