LILIUM HANSONI 31 



LILIUM COLUMBIANUM 

 is much like a small L. Humboldtii. 



LILIUM HANSONI (Japan), Martagon 



A beautiful orange Lily, bearing a number of flowers 

 on the top of a stem about three and a half feet 

 high ; they are heavily spotted with purple towards 

 the centre. The flowers of this Lily, though reflexed, 

 are not curled-in as is usual with most of the Martagon 

 group. It is a Lily that should be more generally 

 known and grown. It does well in pots. 



LILIUM LEICHTLINI (Japan), Martagon 



A beautiful pale lemon-coloured Lily, marked inside 

 with purple, on stems about three feet high. This 

 is not a plant for every garden, but for the careful 

 amateur, one of whom advises that it should be grown 

 in sandy loam lightened with peat. One reason for 

 failure in gardens may be that it comes out of the 

 ground early and therefore needs protection from 

 spring frosts. It is not a good Lily for pots, because, 

 like L. neilgherrense, the flower-stem travels away 

 from the bulb horizontally before rising. 



LILIUM MARTAGON (Europe, Asia), Martagon 

 Martagon Lily 



A very old garden flower, and, though not bright 

 of colour, always a favourite ; indeed one can scarcely 

 think of an old English garden without the dull purple
