may do well and produce a succession of their 

 lovely flowers. The ones I have put in are /. angli- 

 ca, florentina, pumila, alata, ochroleuca, pavonia major, 

 persica, and stylosa. 



The temptation became so strong that I have 

 been unable to leave the Lilium giganteum undis- 

 turbed. The bulbs and roots of the one that flow- 

 ered look healthy, but there are no decided off- 

 sets strong enough for separation. One of those 

 which have not flowered was also examined, and 

 as the bulb seemed fresh and vigorous it was cov- 

 ered up again.
