JAPAN LILIES. 



Milium auratum. Golden 

 Band Lily. This is a very hand- 

 some lily ; the flowers are large 

 and white, each petal having a 

 yellow stripe. It is of easy cul- 

 ture. A loamy, dry soil suits it 

 best, and planted one inch deep. 

 The past season I had occa- 

 sion to see several of this noble 

 lily in bloom, and it is really 

 tine; half a dozen flowers open- 

 ing at the sametinie,and measur- 

 ing from six to nine inches 

 across. It is very fragrant I ex- 

 pect some fine bulbs, same as I 

 had last year, imported direct 

 from their native country.

These Japan Lilies are very beautiful and fragrant. Should be
