FT1HIS ancient and aristocratic family, with its long line of 

 ( ) distinguished posterity, is so well and favorably known 

 | that descriptions are unnecessary, even were it possible 

 for the pen or brush to portray their almost savage beauty. 

 They are hardy and of rapid and vigorous growth, and a bed 

 of them, once established, becomes a permanent fixture that 

 will long survive as a wondrous and attractive feature of the 

 garden. They succeed best if given a good, light, dry soil — a 

 sheltered location, such as the proximity of shrubbery or trees 

 (if not too large and dense), or a snug nook such as the angles 

 of buildings usually afford. The bulbs should be planted 

 about 6 or 8 inches deep. The varieties that we offer below 

 are among the finest types, carefully selected with reference to 

 the demands for general cultivation. 



Lilium Aura-turn (see cut). — Pure white, exquisitely 

 spotted with rose, and rayed and banded with golden yellow in 

 the most beautiful manner; maroon-tipped stamens in high
