purpose of conveying nourishment to the
growth and bloom above ground, and of
course the soil they penetrate should also
be well enriched. Now If the bulbs are
planted very shallow there is no chance
for these upper roots to form, or if any
do form they are so near the surface that
the sun burns them up, and the result is
that the buds usually blast, the stem
has to depend on the bulb for all it's sus-
tenance and at the end of the season it
will be found that the bulb has been
sucked dry and totally disappeared.
The following wonderful account of
Auratum grown as a pot plant, was pub
lished and illustrated in the Gardeners
Chronicle, of London, February 18th
1873. OF course very rich soil was added
in re-potting:
GA single bulb measuring two inches in
diameter, was obtained early in 1865. 1t
was potted in greenhouse where it pro-
duced three flowers on one stem In 1866
it was re-potted in a nine inch pot and
received similar treatment; the plant
threw up two stems, producing altogether
seventeen flowers. In 1867 it was re-pot-
ted in an eleven inch pot, where it threw
up three stems, which bore fifty-three
flowers In 1868 it was shifted into q
sixteen inch pot, where it threw up twelve
stems, producing altogether one hundred
flowers. In 1869 in a seventeen inch pot
it threw up thirty-nine Towering stems,
from two to nine feet in height, which
produced one hundred and ninety-three
flowers. The next year the bulbs were
left undisturbed and threw up forty-three
stems, producing altogether two hundred
and eight flowers.

The Royal Water Lily in its Native

interested me most is a plant belonging
to my own particular line of study. Few
naturalists of North America or Europe
can boast of having visited and gathered
the Victoria Regia in its native home, but
that has been the good fortune of your
correspondent, for it is quite common in
the lagoons Of the Paraguay River. To
my eyes, however, the flowers, although
gigantic, have not half the loveliness and
none of the delicious fragrance of our
aquatic queen, the Castalia OdOrata.

Mistletoe.

The Enlish mistletoe (Viscum album)

Before the cases reach New York, many
OF the berries drop off, and before they
are delivered in California the mistletoe
is little better than trash. At best it is

Victoria Regia.

Mrs. Stones article on the above has
called out the following interesting COM
munications:
Editor Floral Department.:
Some years since in the city of Monterey,
old Mexico, saw what the proprietor of
the garden informed me was Royal
Water Lily. From the description of the
leaf as given in the AGRICULTURIsT OF
October I'd by Mrs. Isaac Stone, think
it must have been as represented. The
gentleman that owned the garden and
lily informed me that he secured several
seed from Mexican naval officer, who Sc
cured them in some Brazilian port. The
owner of this wonderful lily that | saw
was very enthusiastic in praise of it's beau
ty and fragrance. / regret very much
that do not remember the name of the
gentleman that owned the plant. If did
| would write to him to see if | could Sc
cure one or more seed.

Editor Floral Department.:
My experience with Victoria Regia is
the same as that of your correspondent,
Theo. L. Mead | tried them last winter
several times, but could not get one to
germinate Yet others have had good
success. / have since been told. by one
who succeeds that the seed should be
planted an inch deep in a pot of rather
firm soil, and this put in water and kept
at a temperature of 800 to 9OO-never al
lowed to get below 800 nor above 900.
This is the only thing that ever beat me

BosToN, Mass, Feb. 2o.-In view of
the spiders breaking off the match
between himself and Frank Murphy,
Jack Havlin, the old rival of Weir,
comes forward this afternoon with the
offer to take the latter's place, and Of
fers to post a guarantee to be in the
ring, and will not ask for any money
until he has earned it,. The Fair Deal
Athletic club, which put up the purse,
has the offer under consideration. Ned
McAvoy, the saloOnkeeper, is Wier's
backer. although he does not want the
fact known for fear it may influence the
police commissioners to refuse him
renewal of his liquor store
license which he is soliciting at present.
McAvoy Is very bitter at Weir. Hesays
that instead OF taking care of himself,
as he promised after signing articles,
the Spider took the S25 advanced for
training expenses and went to New
York with it on tear. He came back
drunk. in which condition he assaulted
Patrick Cummings and was arrested for
it. While Murphy was training the
Spider has been dissipating. Continued
Mr.. McAvoy: This is not the Spiders
first trick of the kind. for during the
making of the arrangements for the first
fight the Spider borrowed SIS from a
Boston bookmaker which has never
been repaid" The Spider acknowl-
edges being arrested and said the money
he solicited from McAvoy was simply to
pay his fine. He is out of money and in
bad way generally. But, said Weir,
as the club after putting up the purse
will make money, as will McAvOy. he
thought it was pretty tough that neither
of them would loan him the small sum
