LILY. 209 



well arranged, of excellent form, and of a clear 

 yellowish salmon color. 



Var. marmoratum. A very early form, broad- 

 petaled, of a deep, rich crimson color, flaked and tipped 

 with orange; spotted. 



Var. marmoratum aureum. Another very early 

 variety; more spotted than the last, the yellow pre- 

 dominating, with red margins. 



Var. Alice Wilson. This is decidedly the finest 

 Lily in this class, and rivals the Monadelphum in rich- 

 ness of color and general effect as a border plant. It 

 grows about two feet high, producing from three to 

 eight large, well-opened, finely-shaped flowers, of a 

 deep, clear lemon color, with small spots. Like all of 

 its class, it is easy to manage, and is readily increased 

 by offsets, a decided advantage. 



Var. Maurii. A very large flower, orange-crim- 

 son, heavily and distinctly spotted, and richly shaded. 



Var. Van Houttei. A richly tinted, deep scarlet 

 form, with a yellow blotch in the center, and sometimes 

 at the tip; broad-petaled ; very beautiful, contrasting 

 grandly with the Alice Wilson. 



Var. Horsmanni. A deep blood-red, broad-pet- 

 aled form, spotted; one of the handsomest and most 

 richly tinted. 



Group C. 



Var. brevifolium. Distinguished by its very 

 short,, acutely-pointed, broad, thick leaves, only one 

 and one-half to two and one-half inches long; very 

 early flowering; flowers cup-shaped, and of a light 

 reddish tint, with a purplish gloss; spotted, tips flaked 

 with yellow. 



Var. splendens. This form, in its relation to the 

 species, is rightly named, growing two and one-half feet 

 high, with a stout stem, and L. umbellatum-likQ foliage;
