South Devon. 

 Very well in heavy red loam and leaf soil in

These reports show the wonderful adaptability of 

 this Lily to a variety of soil, and therefore indicates 

 that we may consider it a Lily for all English gardens. 



L. Parryi. 



Two successes, three doubtful cases, and one 

 failure are recorded against this pretty Cali- 

 fornian Lily, but probably it is from its not 

 being generally known that it should be grown 

 in moist peat. Since these reports came in 

 we have had a most favourable account of it 

 from an amateur in Kent. 



L. philadelphicuTn. 



Only mentioned once in the reports received, 

 describing it as short-lived. 



L. rubellum. 



This beautiful new Lily is extremely well 

 spoken of wherever it has had a fair trial 

 in sandy or peaty soils.
