eular in Canadense. Properly an eastern (indigenous 
American) form, but stretching westward, and inter- 
mingling with the western varieties, so that it becomes 
difficult to separate the intermediate forms.” In the 
cultivated forms there is as wide a difference between 
these two species as there is between either of them and 
the Martagons. The Superbum grows twice as high, 
has double the number of flowers, which have their 
petais so much reflexed that they clasp the stems, while 
those of the Canadense are always bell-shaped, and the 
buds of the former are quite as angular as are those of 
the latter.

L. tenuifolium.—tThe earliest of all our garden 
Lilies, and one of the most desirable, because of its bril-

to twenty, on very slender stems, which are beautifully 
clothed with grass-like foliage. A native of Siberia, 
where it is largely grown as an article of food. It is 
quite tender, and needs a dry soil and protection against 
frost; see Page 175. It is rapidly increased from seed.

L. tigrinum (Tiger Lily).—This is one of our 
earliest contributions from China, having been intro- 
duced with Longifloruam in 1804. It is, when well 
grown, one of the most noble and showy of all the spe- 
cies, and well worthy a place in every collection. The 
type grows about four feet high, and, in good soil, will
