SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS. 



95 



LILIUMS. 



Auratum. Of all the Lily trilie, this is undoubtedly one of the finest, whether 

 we regard its size, its sweetness, or its exquisite arrangement of color. Its large and 

 graceful flowers are composed of six petals of a delicate ivory-wliite color, thickly 

 studded with chocolate crimson spots, and striped through the centre a golden-yel- 

 low. 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.
