HARDY PERENNIALS. 



93 



Scotch Pink, Snow. 



Lilies. 



Some of the varieties of this favorite flower are truly 

 niagnifieent. They are all hardy, and the bulbs can 

 \w planted either in the spring or autumn ; Cavdidum 

 and Longiflorum Japonicum should be planted in the 

 autumn, as they commence then to grow ; a covering 

 of manure will be found beneficial fur all the varieties, 

 but must be removed very early in spring to prevent 

 too rapid growth. The ground should be tlioroughly 

 drained. For pot-culture we recommend the Candi- 

 dtims, Lancifoliuras, Longiflorums and Auratum. 



AURATUM (Golden Japan Lily). This superb 

 Lily has flowers 10 to 12 inches in diameter, composed 

 of 6 white petals, thickly studded with rich chocolate- 

 crimson spots, and a bright golden band through the 

 centre of each petal; exquisite vanilla-like perfume. 

 As the bulbs acquire age and strength, the flowers ob- 

 tain their maximum size and number. Upwards of 12 

 flowers have been produced on a single stem. It is 

 perfectly hardy in dry soils, and is excellent for pot- 

 culture.
