removal, as with all other Lilies. Frequent removals ° 
are injurious. So long as they flower well do not disturb 
them. See Engraving on Page 199. 
L. bulbiferum.—This species was known and 
described by Parkinson in 1629, and from that day until 
the present it has never had a fixed place in the family 
of Lilies, and is known under a great variety of names. 
LI. croceum and L. umbellatum being the more common 
appellations. This confusion arises from the fact of its 
name being misleading. Its name would imply bulb- 
bearing at the axils of its leaves, as is the case with the 
LL. tigrinum, the ordinary Tiger Lily, which it rarely, if 
ever, does. Sometimes, if the flower-heads be removed 
early in the season, small bulbs will form at the axils of 
the leaves, but this is not sufficient to warrant its dis- 
tinctive name. It is a native of Central Europe, grows 
from two to three feet high, bearing an umbel of from 
four to eight large, broad-petaled, cup-shaped flowers, 
of arich, dark cherry red color, haying an orange blotch, 
and a few black dots in the center. It is what might, 
with considerable propriety, be termed hardy. It is a 
strong, vigorous grower, very showy, and thriving under 
nearly all circumstances. 
L. Buschianum.—A variety of ZL. concolor. 
L. californicum.—A variety of LZ. pardalinum. 
L. callosum.—An early, small flowering Lily from 
Japan, where its bulbs are grown, like those of JL. ¢i- 
grinum, as an article of food; flowers are bright red, 
produced in a raceme of from four to eight. A variety, 
stenophyllum, from Eastern Siberia, is of a taller and 
stronger habit. This variety closely resembles LZ. tenwi- 
folium, but has not the same grace and brilliancy of 
color. 
L. canadense.—This is the species so common in 
our meadows, and known as the Meadow Lily. It grows 
from two to four feet high, bearing from one to ten
