L ILIUM GIG ANTEUM.— A few fine healthy Tubers 

 of this magnificent Nepaul Lily have been sent to Messrs 

 Veitch by Mr. T. Lobb, who collected them in their native 

 habitat, and who speaks of it as the finest of all the Lilies he 

 has ever seen. The flowers are white, of great size, and pro- 

 duced in abundance. 



Dr. Lindlet says, M Lilium Giganteum is a very fine thing ; 

 it will perhaps be as hardy as the Japan Lily." 



Sir W. J. Hooker also says, '* It is a very fine large flowered 

 species, figured by Dr. Wallich in Flora or'Nenaul ; the flowers 

 are nearly white, and half a foot long, leaves very large and 

 heart-shaped." 



The Plants now offered are growing luxuriantly, and 

 excellent condition. Each.— f. d.
