LILY: 213 
said so much in regard to this Lily, but for the fact that 
it is quite as important to say what a plant will not do, 
as well as what it will do. 
L. Glehnii.—A variety of LZ. cordifolium, Page 
206, but little cultivated. 
L. Hansoni.—Named in honor of the late P. Han- 
son, of Brooklyn, N. Y., an enthusiastic bulb grower, 
by Max Leichtlin, one of the best authorities on Lilies. 
A well defined species growing from two to four feet 
high, foliage bright green, in whorls, producing from 
four to twelve dark yellow flowers, remarkable for the 
thickness of petal and wax-like appearance. It will 
thrive as luxuriantly as the common Tiger Lily, and is 
quite as hardy. It increases rather slowly, by offsets 
and division; flowers in June. in every collection of 
as many as twelve Lilies this should be included. 
L. Horsmanni.—A variety of L. elegans, Page 209. 
L. Humboldtii.—This is the most showy and 
graceful, and the most useful of all the species found on 
the Pacific coast. It adapts itself to our climate fairly 
well. Like most of the California species, it wants to 
grow during our winter, and rest during our summer ; 
yet we have had it do well enough to warrant having it 
in a general collection. If the situation is favorable, 
such as partial shade and a deep, rich soil, it will grow six 
feet high, producing from thirty to forty flowers, bright 
orange-red, spotted with black. Disappointment will 
surely follow the growing of this Lily, unless it is thor- 
oughly protected against frost. There is but one vari- 
ety, Ocellatum, which is not as vigorous a grower as the 
species; it has larger flowers, the spots of which are sur- 
rounded with a yellow circle; it is a distinct form, but 
little known. 
L. isabellinum.—A synonym of Z. excelsum. 
L. jama-jure.—The Japanese name for L. Take- 
sima.
