LILIUM SARGENTIAE. Awarded a 

 silver medal by the Mass. Horticul- 

 tural Societ\% August, 1911. The bulbs 

 offered were coUeeted by Mr. Wilson. 

 This is one of the strongest growing 

 lihes — frequently attaining a height 

 of six to eight feet. The flowers 

 vary in number from five to ten on a 

 stalk, and in size and shape resembling 

 LiUum Harrisii, greenish-white shaded 

 purple on the outside, and of the purest 

 white within, with a tint of citron in 

 the centre. The flowers have a pleas- 

 ing fragrance. This lily will un- 

 doubtedly be largeh' used for outdoor 

 planting as well as for forcing. Many 

 consider it the finest of all tubular 

 flowered lilies. It flowers somewhat 

 later than Lilium m\Tiophyllum, and 

 being of larger growth, has a distinct 

 place.

LILIUM MYRIOPHYLLDM. Awarded 

 Silver Medal by Massachusetts Horti- 

 cultural Society, July 15, 1911. Mr. 

 E. H. Wilson, the famous plant coUec- 

 tor, collected for us the bulbs now 

 offered, in North-western China. He 

 considers this the finest of all lilies. 

 It is absolutel}' hardj', and is excellent 

 for forcing. It has been predicted that 

 this wiU become the Easter Lily of the 

 future, and being so hardy, may be 

 grown at home. The flowers arc white,, 

 slightly suffused with pink and with 

 a beautiful shade of canary j-ellow at 

 the centre, and extending part way up 

 the trumpet. It is delightfully per- 

 fumed, reminding one of the Jasmine, 

 and lacking the heavy oppressive odor 

 of most lilies. Blooms out-of-tloors 

 oarlv in July.
