LILIES IN ENGLAND 53 



Very well in sandy loam on chalk subsoil in 



Surrey. 

 Very well in peaty loam in Wigtonshire. 

 Unequal in alluvial soil (apt to dry) in Dublin. 

 Well in peat (soil red sandstone) in South 



Devon. 

 Failure in loam in Surrey. 



The reports of this Lily vary considerably, but it is 

 so beautiful that we advise amateurs to give it a good 

 trial. 



L. Leichtlini. 



Only two reports of this graceful Lily came in, 

 one doubtful and one favourable. 



L. longiflorunt. 



Out of fourteen reports continued success in 

 garden culture was only mentioned in four 

 cases, others being moderate, and some 

 failures. It is not a plant that can be ex- 

 pected to grow on and increase in English 

 gardens, but it is imported in such vast 

 quantities, and brought to our doors at so 

 cheap a rate, that its popularity is not likely 

 to wane, while as a pot Lily it is one of the 

 most valuable. 



L. pardalinujit. 



Of this we had seventeen notices, of which a 



few are as follows : — 

 Well in strong loam in Northumberland. 

 Well in peat, sand, and loam in Devon.
