BUTTEKFLY LILY. Butterfly Lily This magnificent. East Indian plant is one of the most desirable aquisitions to a collection of flowers imaginable. While the cut gives an excellent idea of the general appearance of the plant, it conveys bnt a slight idea of the chaste beauty of the large snow-white and exquisitely fragrant (like aJasmine) flowers, looking almost like a bevy of large, white butterflies hovering over the plant. The roots may be wintered in a dormant condition (in the soil) if stored in a warm, dry situation, or if kept moist and warm enough the plant will flower the whole year reund. Fine roots, 20c. Gactiis. Cereus Crandlflora — (NianT-BLOOMTNO Cekeus) — The most beautiful flower in the world. Its flowers are a foot across, of a pure satiny white, outside petals tinged with reddish brown. It is also deliciously fragrant. No description can do justice to its wonderful beauty, or portray the magnificence of its pure cup, filled with thousands of silky stamens. Truly a flower of the pods, and one which seems not of earth, as its beauty is un- folded only in midnight's darkness. 80o. each. Phllocactu8- Several sorts, of different colors. Very fine day bloomers, almost equal to the Night-Blooming Cerens. 20c. each. Stapella Variegata- Not strictly a Cactus, but resembles one in habit and appearance. Thick, succulent stems and st;ir-shapecl, spotted maroon, brown and yellow blossoms, very odd and striking. Flowers throughout the year. The flowers are thick and leathery, resembling the skin of a reptile. It isexceedingly attractive, lflc. Stapella Crandiflora—The giant Stapella; very rare, and a most magnificent plant. Flowers
