Lilium Auratum. 



LILIUM AURATUM.— Golden Band Lily. 

 This is a very handsome lily; the flowers 

 are large and white, each petal having: a 

 yellow stripe. It is of easy culture. A 

 loamy, dry soil suits it best, if planted one 

 inch deep. We have seen these noble lilies 

 bloom, and they were really fine; half a 

 dozen flowers opening- at the same time and 

 measuring- from six to nine inches across. 

 Very fragrant. We have fine bulbs, im- 

 ported direct from their native country.
