HYVACIN Wiis:

The preferable season for planting Hyacrtntus in the open ground isin —
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. Zo prevent mice from
eating the Bulbs don’t cover with litter until the ground has frozen tolerably hard.

For the culture of HyAcintTus 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 asingle one; three or four Bulbs in a 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 base 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 ra ipidly, and enlarges the flowers. Single HyAcINTHS gener-

ally succeed better in glasses than double ones, but those of the latter marked
** are also adapted for water.

(es Parties unacquainted with the different varieties, by stating with their order
whether wanted for pot, glass or garden culture, willdo 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.

HY ACINTHS.

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.

10 J. M. THorspurn & Co.’8 CATALOGUE OF BULBS.

OED OE Brest

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 the flower
border, They can readily be brought forward for early bloom in the green-hoyse, 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.

EARLY FLOWERING, or BEDDING TULIPS.

Admirably adapted for culture in pots, edgings or beds, flowering tmmediately
after the Due Von Thols.

AMARYLLIS.

io

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-
able for their culture isa good, friable, highly-de-
composed turfy loam, 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
years.

The following varieties arethe only sorts to be had at this season of the year, and they
are generally planted in pots in Autumn, and require to be kept in a warm room or Greenhouse,
except those* which are hardy and may be planted out; it is best, however, to give them
a slight protection.

The FreNcH Hysrips, for Spring planting, will bein by November. These form a family
of Bulbs of rare beauty. Every year is now adding varieties of most exquisite tint and shade;
and from the time of year at which they bloom, and the long continuance of their flowers in
perfection, they become one of the greatest ornaments of the Garden, at a season when
flowers of vivid tint are scarce. Very valuable flowers for vases.

LILIUM (Lilies).

NOT READY TILL THE 18ST TO THE 15TH OF OCTOBER.

LILIUM LANCIFOLIUM. LILIUM CANDIDUM.

These require very little care—the principal
thing, indeed, to be attended to is to forbear dis- —
turbing them too often. All these kinds when
once planted should be left as long as possible un-
touched. The Auratum cannot bear manure ; ordi-
nary light soil suits them best. We should call
particular attention to the LILIUM SPECIOSUM
(Japan Lily), which are next to Lilium Auratum,
the most magnificent species; and the varieties,
though very distinct, are almost equally handsome.
They are remarkable on account of 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 deg, not less than

LILY OF THE VALLEY.

NERINE (Guernsey Lily).

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, andif
heavy a littlesand. Tohave them in perfection the soil
should be well drained, cool, deep, rich. andmoist. 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.

SNOWDROES.

Perhaps no Spring Flower isa more general favorite than the SnowpRrop. 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,
