DREER’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE OF BULBS. 
GOLDEN LILY, 
the varieties are truly magnificent. 
The Lilium auratum is the 
new great Lily, from Japan, 
and called the * Golden Lily.” 
This is the king of lilies, and, 
as Dr. Lindley truly remarked, 
“Tf ever a flower merited the 
title of ‘glorious’ it is this, 
whether we regard its size, 
sweetness, or exquisite ar- 
rangement of color.” The 
flower is from eight to twelve 
inches across, composed of six / 
delicate white ivory petals, 
each being thickly studded 
with rich chocolate crimson 
spots, and having a bright 
golden band through the cen- 
tre of each petal, with an ex- 
quisite vanilla-like perfume. 
As the bulbs acquire age and 
strength, the flowers obtain 
their maximum size and 
number. Upwards of twelve 
flowers have been produced 
on a single stem. It is per- 
fectly hardy in dry soils, and 
is also admirably adapted for 
pot culture. 
Strong Flowering Bulbs, 
$1.50 to $2.00 each. 
2d Size Flowering Bulbs, 
50 cts. to $1.00 each.
