BULBS AND TUBEROUS-ROOTED PLANTS. 



L. japonicum. — A synonym for L. Krameri. 



L. jocundum. — A synonym of L. pseudo-tigrinum. 



L. Kraetzeri. — A variety of L. speciosum album. 



L. Krameri. — In habit this form resembles a 

 small-growing L. auratum; a more graceful or pleasing 

 Lily is rarely met. It is a native of the mountains of 

 Japan, although often referred to as a Japanese hybrid. 

 It is a delicate, low-growing form, producing from one 

 to five blush-white, varying to clear pink, flowers, some- 

 what of the form of Auratum, and very fragrant. It 

 will grow well in all dry soils, with ample protection 

 against frost. 



L. lancifolium. — A synonym of L. elegans, Page 

 207, also of L. speciosum, Page 222. 



L. Ledebourii. — A variety of L. monadelphum. 



L. Leichtlinii. — A most beautiful species, in habit 

 resembling L. tigrinum, growing from three to five feet 

 high, bearing from ten to thirty clear yellow, drooping 

 flowers, with small black spots. It is a free grower, pro- 

 duced rapidly from seed. It has a habit peculiar to 

 itself, its shooting stem often running along a foot or 

 more beneath the soil before making its appearance ; 

 care should be taken in digging about the bed until the 

 stems have had sufficient time to appear above ground. 



L. Leichtlinii majus. — Properly known as L. 

 pseudo-tigrinum, Page 221. 



L. Lishmanni. — Included in L. tigrinum. 



L. longiflorum. — It is one of the most beautiful 

 and valuable Lilies for the open border, as well as the 

 one mostly employed for forcing. The typical form 

 grows about two feet high, the stems being terminated 

 with from one to eight long, tubular, waxy-white flow- 

 ers, intensely fragrant. There are several varieties of 

 this Lily, one of which, eximium, for a few years, 

 seemed to be the only one used for forcing by the florists. 

 Many of the best growers have, of late, discarded it, and
