LILY. 209, 
well arranged, of excellent form, and of a clear 
yellowish salmon color. 
Var.marmoratum.—A very early form, broad- 
petaled, of a deep, rich crimson color, flaked and tipped 
with orange; spotted. 
Var.marmoratum aureum.—Another very early 
variety; more spotted than the last, the yellow pre- 
dominating, with red margins. 
Var. Alice Wilson.—This is decidedly the finest 
Lily in this class, and rivals the Monadelphum in rich- 
ness of color and general effect as a border plant. It 
grows about two feet high, producing from three to 
eight large, well-opened, finely-shaped flowers, of a 
deep, clear lemon color, with small spots. Like all of 
its class, it is easy to manage, and is readily increased 
by offsets, a decided advantage. 
Var. Maurii.—A very large flower, orange-crim- 
son, heavily and distinctly spotted, and richly shaded. 
Var. Van Houttei.—A richly tinted, deep scarlet 
form, with a yellow blotch in the center, and sometimes 
at the tip; broad-petaled; very beautiful, contrasting 
grandly with the Alice Wilson. 
Var. Horsmanni.—A deep blood-red, broad-pet- 
aled form, spotted; one of the handsomest and most 
richly tinted. 
Group C. 
Var. brevifolium.— Distinguished by its very 
short, acutely-pointed, broad, thick leaves, only one 
and one-half to two and one-half inches long; very 
early flowering; flowers cup-shaped, and of a light 
reddish tint, with a purplish gloss; spotted, tips flaked 
with yellow. 
Var. splendens.— This form, in its relation to the 
species, is rightly named, growing two and one-half feet 
high, with a stout stem, and L. umbellatum-like foliage ;
