The <4 Floral Magazine " remarks: "Since the day when ' Lilium Aura- 

 turn ' was displayed for the first time to the horticultural public, we cannot 

 recollect s6 great a sensation to have been occasioned by any plant as by that 

 which we now figure, when Mr. William Bull exhibited it on May 3d of the 

 present year. Its history is now well known, and of its merits too much cannot 

 be said. To Mr, Fortune, already so successful in enriching our gardens, are 

 we indebted for it,- and Mr. Bull may well congratulate himself on being the 

 first to introduce it into Europe. A Primula a foot and a half high, bearing 

 four or five separate whorls of flowers, each flower an inch in diameter, and of 

 a splendid magenta color, and the plant moreover perfectly hardy — can any- 

 thing be added to this to indicate its value? We hardly think so. and every 

 one who saw it will fully bear out our assertion, that a more beautiful or a more 

 useful plant has not been for many years introduced into Europe. Of its hardi- 

 ness there can be no doubt, as its has stood the ordeal of the last severe winter 

 in the neighborhood of London."
