as the phlox and lilies. The latter are as easily 

 propagated as the Coral lily because, all up and 

 down their ^ems are little black bulbils, that 

 resemble large black currants. 

 They re^ in the axils of the leaves and can be 

 planted the very same way as seed in flats or cold 

 frames, or in the open ground, and will soon pro- 

 duce ^rong young plants. 



^ The Tigrinum lily requires no taking, the 

 ^alks are so ^rong. I have never seen one of 

 them pro^rate in storm or gale, and the eight or 

 nine large blooms that crown the splendid ^alk 

 have more tints than ju^ orange-red, indeed 

 there are more light and dark shades of jasper, 

 pink and red and apricot-buff than orange-red. 

 The bulbs have both ^tem and base of bulb roots 

 and for that reason should be planted eight inches 

 deep, in any good soil with plenty of sand over 

 and under them. 



^ There is another wonderful lily that blooms in 

 July, white, delicately clouded with pink and with 

 a beautiful golden centre. 1 should love it to be 

 somewhere in every garden, please plant it. It is 

 the Lilium Regale so appropriately named be- 

 cause it is really regal and completely hardy, even
