HY ACINTHS.

The preferable season for planting HyYAcINTHs in the open ground is in October and November, but they can be set out at any later time, as long as the ground is open and the Bulbs remain sound. The best compost for the Bulbs is the following: One-third river or sea sand, one third well rotted cow manure, and one-third good garden mold, or, where the soil is naturally light, well rotted cow manure liberally intermixed is all sufficient. The beds com- posed of the above compost should be well dug, to the depth of fourteen inches, and raised from two to four inches above the level of the walks, and in Winter may be covered with withered leaves, long manure, or with light earth formed of decayed leaves from the woods. They should be planted about six inches deep, and from five to six inches apart. Care must be taken not to press the soil too hard around and over the Bulbs. To prevent mice from eating the Bulbs don’t cover with litter until the ground has frozen tolerably hard.

For the culture of HyAcrnTHs in pots, prepare the above compost, adding, if possible, a quantity of leaf mold. The most favorable time for planting is September, October and November. The size of the pot depends upon the number of Bulbs planted in a single one; three or four Bulbs ina pot of six or seven inches in diameter, has a rich and massive effect ; one or two Bulbs in each may be planted in proportionately smaller pots—two Bulbs in each is very effective and generally preferred. In potting, each Bulb should remain two-thirds above the surface of the soil ; when thus planted, water them well, to imbed the Bulbs firmly in the soil, allowing them to remain in this condition one or two days; then bury the pots in the open ground to the depth of six inches, for six weeks, in which position the preparatory root growth is made, necessary to a vigorous development of their flower scapes. After the period adverted to, take up the pots and remove them to a room not heated and not so cold as to freeze. Being exposed to the light for the first time, they are, of course, very delicate. Care should, therefore, be exercised not to place them in the direct rays of the sun for two or three days. When about ready to flower bring them to the ordinary living-room, where the warmth will soon cause them to bloom. By so bringing them out, afew at atime, you may secure a beautiful succession of flowers all Winter. They will need moderate occasional watering, until they begin to grow, when they should have an abundance of air in mild weather, and plenty of water from the saucers while in a growing state.

For culture in glasses, the Bulbs should beso placed that only the ass of each touches the water; then place them, for the first ten days, in a dark but cool closet or room, to promote the starting of the roots, after which expose them to the light and air as much as possible ; avoid placing them near gas light. The water should .be changed as it beeomes impure ; draw the roots entirely out of the glasses, rinse off the fibres in clean water, and wash the inside of the glass well. The water should never be allowed to freeze, as it would not only burst the glass, but cause the fibres to decay. When the Bulbs are well advanced, give them a soft shower of rain-water every day. This causes the Bells to open rapidly, and enlarges the flowers. Single Hyacrnrus gener- ally succeed better in glasses than double ones, but those of the latter marked ** are also adapted for water.

ts Parties unacquainted with the different varieties, by stating with their order whether wanted for pot, glass or garden culture, will do well to leave the selection to us, as they may rest assured that such selection will be made in a most judicious and liberal manner. |

mingle Hyacinth. Orders for BULBS should be forwarded from September to November inclusive. In open Winter, or at the South, they may be planted as long as the ground can be worked. All orders sent before the first of October will be sure to be filled ; after hat time the supply of many sorts frequently becoming exhausted.

HYACINTHS.

The single Flowered Varieties are generally more effective than the Double ones, and, as a general rule, the former succeed better than the latter in glasses. The Double Varieties are distinguished by an Asterisk (*).

All Single Hyacinths succeed well in water, _ thus ** are also adapted for glasses.

Mode of treatment is the same as for Hyacinths. Almost every variety and shade of color is now in them that was formerly to be found only in the oldest sort of Florists’

varieties.

Most of these TuLips are equally well calculated for pot culture and for tke flower

border. They can readily be brought forward for early bloom in the green-house, or even in the dwelling-house; and in the border they group admirably with other varieties of Early | Bulbs, or form by themselves most beautiful contrasts of color, when planted in vases.

AMARYLLIS.

These Bulbs, which are so remarkable for their beautiful flowers, should be, most of them. cultivated in doors, and but moderately watered, unless they show indications of flowering. The soil most suit- “ble for their culture isa good, friable, highly-de- composed turfy ioam, with one-fourth part of rich leaf mold or pulverized manure and the ordinary proportion of sand in mixture. Frequent disturbance of the roots is to be particularly avoided; allow

them to remain in the same pots for two or three

ANEMONES.

Soil about the same as for Hya-

cinths; if possible, give them a mod- erately shady location; are perfectly hardy, and flower in the Spring. Plantin the Autumn. May also be grown in pots, or forced in frames for early flowers.

CLEMATIS COCCINEA.

A most desirable plant for any pur- pose where climbing plants are re- quired. It is an herbaceous perennial, the stems dying to the surface each Winter, (this is an advantage where an unobstructed view is required in Winter); the vines attain the height ¥ of from 8 to 10 or 12 feet, beginning to flower in June and continuing until frost; single vines have from 20 to 30 flowers on each, and frequently as many as ten vines will start from one * crown each season.

The flowers are bell-shaped ; in color a rich. deep coral-scarlet, shining as if polished, and lasting a long time when cut. Indeed, one of the most beautiful plants for festooning is to be found in CLEMATIS CoccINEA with its peculiar shaded green and elegantly cut and varied foliage—if it never flowered it would be a handsome climbing vine; is perfectly hardy, standing exposure in our severest Winters without harm.

PRICE FOR STRONG ROOTS:

30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen.

CLEMATIS COCCINEA,

CROCUS. FOR POTS AND BORDERS.

An universal fayorite, being one {| of the earliest ornaments of the _ Garden, neat, dwarf and compact 1) in growth.

For flowering in Pots, Hedge- hogs, Baskets, &e., they should be plunged in the open ground for three weeks after planting, pre- | cisely in the same manner as | directed for Hyacinths.

IXIAS.

The Named New Hy- brid Ixias are so beautiful and rich in tints, that no lover of bulbs should be

* without this gorgeous plant; they are equally adapted for pots or the open ground, exceedingly free flowering, and invalu- able for cutting. If planted out, they require rather more cover than Hya- cinths.

Extract from the ‘*Garden:”’

“Take a handful of [xtas Jrom a warm sheltered border, and carry them into the vapour bath of an East , Indian house, and they will

hold thetr own against the wiost rare and valuable

LILIUM (Lilies).

These require very little care—the principal thing, indeed, to be attended to is to forbear disturbing them too often. All these kinds when once planted should be left as long as

The Auratum canno

bear manure; ordi- nary light soil suits them best. We should call particular atten- tion to the LILIUM SPECIOSUM (Japan Lily), which are next to Lilium Auratum. the most magnificent species; and the va rieties, though very distinct, are almost equally handsome. They are remark-

able on account of

LILIUM HARRISSI.

the clear, deep rose color of their flowers, which are all rugged with rubies and garnets, and sparkle with crystal points. Lilies should be planted dee, not less than six inches.

These Bulbs should be cultivated in pots, in light sandy soil, and to promote their flower- ing,a vigorous growth of leaves must be encouraged in the Autumn; the requisites are warmth enough to excite them, and air enough to prevent their growing weak.

RANUNCULUS.

The main soil for these should be aloam or clay with a good dressing of rotten manure and leaf mold, and if heavy a littlesand. Tohave them in perfection the soil should be well drained, cool, deep, rich, and moist. Plant late in the Autumn, claws downward, from. four to six in- ches apart, and three inches deep, covering with fine pul- verized soil. The TurBAN sorts are more hardy, and although the same treatment is desirable, they may be dealt with in a rougher fashion.

SNOWDROPS.

Perhaps no Spring Flower isa more general favorite than the SnowpRop. The earliest flowering of its varieties is the common Single sort, which is also very graceful and beauti- ful, commencing to bloom before the snow is fairly off the ground in the Spring. This is succeeded by the double-flowered variety, with its elegant drooping snow-white blossoms.
