Lilium Auratum. 



Of all the Lily tribe, this is undoubtedly one of the finest, 

 whether we regard its size, its sweetness, or its exquisite ar- 

 rangement of color. Its large and graceful flowers are com- 

 posed of six petals of a delicate ivory white color, thickly 

 studded with chocolate crimson spots, and striped through the 

 centre a golden yellow. From 6 to 20 flowers are produced on 

 a stem, and, as the bulbs acquire age and strength, the flowers 

 increase in size and number. It is perfectly hardy, and thrives 

 best in a moderately dry, rich loam where the water does not lie 



in winter.
