Liliuvi speciosum ruhriim thrives and in- 

 creases in our climate, needs a partly shaded 

 location and, therefore, does well when 

 planted among Rhododendrons. It blooms 

 after the Auratum, the end of August

 petals, grows best in full sun, and averages 

 six Lilies on a stalk, although I have often 

 counted more. 



Lilium longiflorum blooms early in July. 

 These lilies are very much like the Bermuda 

 Lily, except that they have, as a rule, about
