LILIUM CATESBiEI 27 



LILIUM CATESB^I (North America), Isolirion 



Another of the cup-shaped LiHes, bearing orange- 

 red spotted flowers on slender stems one to two feet

 redeemed by some such bold departure from the 

 general form of their occupants as would be secured 

 by the upright form of Lilies. 



LILIUM DAVURICUM (Siberia), Isolirion

 flowers ; an excellent plant for the rock-garden where 

 a large, dwarf, brilliant flower is needed. It likes
