L. elegans. An early flowering Lily, and one of 

 the best for general cultivation, for early flowers and for 

 display. It was formerly sent out under the name of 

 L. T Tinnier gianum, which is now regarded as a sub- 

 variety of the species. It is a variable species, there 

 now being listed more than a score of varieties, and 

 probably as many sub-varieties. The type grows about 

 one foot high, with stout, erect stems, furnished with 

 numerous narrow leaves, and terminated with an umbel 

 of dark orange-red flowers, from five to six inches across. 

 Dr. Wallace, the celebrated authority on Lilies, has 

 made the following very excellent classification of the 

 varieties :

Var. armeniacum ( venustum). One of the latest 

 flowering ; a rich vermilion orange-colored form, with- 

 out spots, known at once by its peculiar twisted foliage;
