LILY. 



L. Wallichianum. A native of the Himalayas, 

 in form and color closely resembling Longiflorum ; the 

 flowers are not as regular in form, nor of as much sub- 

 stance ; neither is it nearly as hardy, and can only be 

 successfully grown in the greenhouse. 



L. Wausharicum. A variety of Philadelphicum, 

 Page 220. 



L. Washingtonianum. One of the native Amer- 

 ican specie* growing freely in the Californian woods ; 

 the flowers are white tinged with purple, produced in 

 clusters on stems from two to five feet high. This spe- 

 cies is a very difficult one to manage in the Atlantic 

 states ; it does not at all conform to the change of sea- 

 sous, and strives to grow and flower during the same 

 months as it does in its native home. With thorough 

 protection we have had it do fairly well, but in the At- 

 lantic States it will succeed well only when grown under 

 glass, for which purposes there are many more desirable 

 kinds. The variety purpureum is a lower growing 

 form, seldom reaching two feet in height, with violet or 

 nearly white flowers, borne in erect umbels. There is 

 the same difficulty in growing the variety as with the 

 species.
