52 PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



LILIUMS.— In Variety. 



Seldom, on tlie introduction of a class of plants, has so much interest been taken as in 

 the case of the Japan Lily. So popular have they become that where we annually sold 

 hundreds a few years ago, we now sell thousands. Those named below embrace all the 

 leading Japan sorts, together with a few of the finest of the other varieties. The Liliums 

 are entirely hardy, and with but few exceptions are of the most delicate fragrance ; the 

 coloring of some of the Japan varieties — crimson on white or rose grounds — is beautiful 

 in the extreme. Our stock this season of the Japan sorts is large and fine, and in many 

 sorts still further reduced in prices.

 inches. The flowers, which are about an inch in length, are scarlet orange at the base, 

 running into deep yellow at the top, in some degree resembling a Manettia. It blooms 

 in the greatest profusion from December to May, and is a great acquisition to our winter
