 L.IL.IUIVI fflTKIUrnTLLUlTl f or us the bulbs now offered, in North-western 

 China. He considers this the finest of all lilies. It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent for forcing. It has 

 been predicted that this will become the Easter I.ilv of the future, anil being so hardy, may he grown ai 

 home. The flowers are white, slightly suffused with pink and with a beautiful shade of canary yellow at 

 the centre, and extending part way up the trumpet. It is delightfully perfumed, reminding one ot tne 

 jasmine, and lacking the heavy oppressive odor of most lilies. Blooms out-of-doors early in July.

The bulbs offered were also collected by Mr. Wilson. 

 Tins is oue of the strongest growing lilies— 

 frequentlv attaining a height of six to eight feet. The flowers vary in number from five to ten on a 

 stalk, and in size and shape resembling I. ilium Ilarrisii, greenish white shaded purple on the outside, 

 and of the purest white within, with a lint of citron in the centre. The flowers have a pleasing 

 fragrance. This lily will undoubtedly be largely used for outdoor planting as well as for forcing. Many 

 consider it the finest of all tubular-flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat later than Lilium myriophyllum. 

 and being c.f larger growth, has a distinct place.
