large and trumpet shaped; they measure some eight or 
nine inches across; the color is white, beautifully tinged 
with lilac purple, and deliciously fragrant. Add to this 
the fact that some twelve or eighteen flowers are borne 
upon a stem, and we have said enough to enlist the 
interest of all plant growers. It comes from the Western 
slopes of the Californian Sierra Nevada. 
ORANCE LILY. 
This showy flower has a scaly bulb, a leafy stem, some- 
times about two and a half feet high, terminating in 
orange colored flowers. Sometimes the stem produces 
small green bulbs in the axils of the leaves. There are 
several varieties of this species and all are showy. They 
are readily propagated by offsets. 
LILIUM MARTACON. 
This is usually called the Turk’s Cap Lily; has also a 
scaly bulb, a stalk furnished with narrow leaves about 
three feet high, with terminating penducles of fine car- 
mine flowers that usually bloom in June. There arealso 
other varieties of this Lily, and it is easily propagated 
by offsets or little bulblets. 
LILIUM TIGRINUM. 
Called also Tiger Lily. This is similar in growth to 
the Martagon, with the upper leaves cordate, oval, and 
petals spotted. It is very plentiful in the South. 
LILIUM SUPERBUM. 
This is as beautiful and rich as many of our native 
Lilies are, and far excels them all, bearing as it does a 
pyramid of yellowish red flowers, twenty to fifty in num- 
ber; blooms early in July, and in good soil it will fre- 
quently grow to the height of eight feet.
