It seems scarcely possible to believe that this beautiful half-hardy bulb should have to be classed with the neglected plants, but so rarely is it now seen that the conclusion is inevitable. It cannot be because it is difficult to cultivate, for Mr Baines, gardener to H. L. Micholls, Esq., formerly of Manchester, at whose new residence - Southgate Park, near London - I recently saw it in bloom, says it is difficult to kill it; and, as it was here developed, I can conceive nothing more suitable for conservatory decoration at this season of the year. It remains in bloom quite two months; and when in bloom, it should be kept shaded to prolong the duration of the flowers: previously to that, it should have plenty of light and air. The ordinary treatment of the hardy kinds of Amaryllidaceous plants would appear to suit it well.
