 This is a very handsome lily; the flowers are 

 large and white, each petal having a yellow 

 stripe. It is of easy culture. A loamy, dry 

 soil suits it best, and planted one inch deep. 



The past season I had occasion to see several 

 of this noble lily in bloom, and it is really fine; 

 half a dozen flowers opening at the same time 

 and measuring from six to nine inches across. 

 It is very fragrant. I expect some fine bulbs, 

 same as I had last year, imported direct from 

 their native country.
