There are many varieties of this grand Lily. Pure

 Album Krsetzeri are beautiful whites, macranthum^ 

 Melpomene, and roseum superbum have fine rose and

It flowers through the late summer and into autumn, 

 and is one of the best of Lilies to arrange in succession 

 to longiflormn. For pot culture the Lilies should be

 well drained, in a compost of light loam and leaf-mould 

 and a little old hot-bed stuff, the bulbs put low to 

 allow a liberal top-dressing when they have made a

 then be put in a cold frame and kept just safe from 

 frost. After the top dressing has been applied, and 

 while the Lilies are growing strongly, a little weak 

 liquid manure will help them.

 established it will rise to a height of six feet, and bear
