Figure i. A glimpse of a few of the hybrid day hlics in the experi- 

 mental plots at The New York Botanical Garden. The plants here shown 

 are quite typical of many of the hybrids between the variety liifcula and 

 the species H. aurantiaca ; they grow vigorously and give an abundance 

 of bloom, which stands in the upper reaches of the foliage or .slightly 

 above. Most of the plants selected for propagation as new clonal varieties 

 , have this haliit of growth, combined with tltjwers of attractive shapes and 

 colors.
