L. umbellatum (umbellate). Under this name, of garden 
origin, are gronped a number of beautiful Lilies, frequently, but 
wrongly, classed as forms of L. dawricum. The best are: atro-

maculatum, multijlorum, SAPPHO. The flowers are some shade of 
red, with spots, and are produced in June. They. vary in height 
from 2ft. to Sft., and are largely and effectively employed in 
shrubberies. *

LILY OF THE VALLEY. So far as the forcing 
of this lovely flower is concerned great advances have 
been made, owing to the introduction of what are known 
as retarded crowns. By means of these it is possible to 
haye blossoms at seasons—before Christmas—that before 
were quite out of the question. Apart, too, from that, such 
crowns give finer flowers and healthy and abundant 
foliage. The treatment necessary for such crowns is

to pot them up in the ordinary way, after which they 
should be kept in a cool frame for four days, and then 
transferred to a greenhouse where a temperature of 
55deg. to 60deg. can be maintained. 
For outside culture an improved strain of Lily of the 
Valley has been introduced with larger and finer flowers 
than those previously known. The variety is known as 
Fortin’s (see Fig. 522), and the flowers are produced on 
exceptionally long stalks.
