LILIUM SARGENTIAE. Awarded a 
silver medal by the Mass. Horticul- 
turalSociety, August, 1911. Thebulbs 
offered were collected by Mr. Wilson. 
This is one of the strongest growing 
lilies—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 
Lilium 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 largely 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 myriophyllum, and 
being of larger growth, has a distinct 
place.

| LILIUM MYRIOPHYLLUM. Awarded 
Silver Medal by Massachusetts Horti- 
cultural Society, July 15, 1911. Mr. 
E. H. Wilson, the famous plant collec- 
tor, collected for us the bulbs now 
offered, in North-western China. He 
considers this the finest of all lilies. 
It is absolutely hardy, and is excellent 
for forcing. It has been predicted that 
this will become the Easter Lily of the 
future, and being so hardy, may be 
grown at home. The flowers are white, 
slightly suffused with pink and with 
a beautiful shade of canary yellow 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-doors 
early in July.
