' Lutea [Stcrnbcrgia]—Golden yellow ; autumn flowering. Caladlum Esculentum—A tropical plant of the well known Caladium family, growing to a height of four or tive feet, with a corresponding breadth. The leaves are of immense size, often eighteen inches by two feet. Calla Lily {Lily of the A7/.')—The well known variety so common in our gardens; large, deep green, tropical foliage, and beautiful, large, pure white flowers, variegated {RichanUa Alba J/r//aAz)—Beautiful spotted foliage; the flowers are smaller than those of the common Calla. Dahlia—Double and single. This favorite family of fall flowering bulbs is too well known to require any description. Their beauty of form and brilliancy of color still com- mend them to the popular taste ; the Pompone or Bouquet varieties, with their small, perfect flowers, cannot be excelled for bouquet purposes. Together with such plants as Carnations, Chrysanthemums, etc., the names and descriptions of which change so frequently, while there is no corresponding actual difference or improvement in the flowers, we find it useless to obtain all the pretended novelties, and confine ourselves entirely to an assortment of good varieties, which include all the various shades of color. Dielytra Spectabilis {Bleeding Heayt)-X handsome, most curiously formt-d, rosy crimson flo>ver,with white ana blue tinged protruding stamens ; one of the finest border plants, and well adapted for blooming in the winter.
