LILIUM WALLACEI 17 



LILIUM WASHINGTONIANUM (California), 

 EuUrion 



A beautiful Lily, with fragrant drooping white 

 flowers on a stem about four feet high. The back 

 of the flower has a lilac tinge. There is a shorter- 

 stemmed variety know^n as purpiireuiity whose whole 

 flower is of a purplish colour when mature. We hear 

 of L. washingtonianuni doing well in loam in Norfolk 

 near the sea, and in Northumberland in strong loam on 

 a clay subsoil. The variety rubescens is recommended 

 as a vigorous kind with a pinkish flower. It is not yet 

 much grown but probably has a good future. 



LILIUM WALLACEI (Japan), EuUrion 

 A very handsome Lily, flowering late ; of a beautiful 

 colour, like the warmest apricot but more rosy. It 

 likes a damp place. It is of Japanese origin and is 

 said to be a garden hybrid.
