272 HOME FLORICULTURE 



orange-yellow, thickly spotted with brown. Very 

 hardy and floriferous. 



Umbellatum, tawny yellow, with upright flowers. 

 Long, Amaryllis-like foliage. Fine for masses. Will 

 grow anywhere. One of the sorts that stand all kinds 

 of neglect and abuse, and look cheerful under it. 



Some of our native species are well worth a place 

 in the garden, foremost among which Lilium super- 

 bum, our common Swamp Lily. It grows from six 

 to eight feet high on an average, with four to twelve 

 orange-red flowers on each stalk. It is a splendid 

 plant to grow among shrubbery.
