copper red. It is a continuous bloomer. JV. Vesuve 

 has very large flowers of a rich amaranth red, and is 

 a free bloomer. In England these have not yet been 

 fairly tested. N. James Gurney, N. William Doogue, 

 and N. William Falconer ; these American varieties or 

 hybrids appear to have a close affinity to those raised 

 by M. Latour-Marliac. The two first-named are after 

 the N. Marliacea group, and the latter after N. odorata ; 

 this is the darkest I have yet flowered of any of the 

 hybrids. The parentage of these three Lilies I do 

 not recollect to have seen given or even suggested. 

 Another American variety, James Brydon, I have not 

 yet seen. 



N. Frcebeli was described by J. F. H. in The Garden 

 recently, and a coloured plate was given. This also 

 is not yet well enough known to speak of its merits. 

 It has a good reputation on the Continent. 



As a rule the depth of water required for any variety 

 may be gauged by the length of the petiole or leaf- 

 stalk. Those with long petioles will be well adapted 

 for deep water, such, for instance, as the varieties 

 marked *.
