ARCHELIRION GROUP. 



This is a grand Section, as its name implies, — the Chief of Lilies : the flowers are open and reflexed, horizon- 

 tal or slightly, drooping. The introducer of-Speciosum remarked, "If there is anything not human which is 

 magnificent in beauty, it is Lilium Speciosum." Auratum has been called the Queen of Lilies; and we 

 think that Tigrinum may fairly be called the Prince of Lilies, courtly in its bearing, rich and chaste in its 

 coloration. It may, indeed, be questioned if there is in Flora's Kingdom another such trio combining so much 

 beauty, stateliness, and variety. They are natives of Japan, in flower from .July to the end of September, and 



under glass may be had in bloom much earlier.

1176 Auratum, most of the varieties have gold bands and crimson spots : there are some, hozvever, with 



scarlet spots, and others with the gold band somewhat bronzed; while others have few and 

 delicate spots, and some are almost white ; indeed, the variation is almost endless. Seldom 

 arc two varieties alike. 3 ft.

the 



cut lor fur- 

 r conservatory decoration, 

 flowers contrasting with its pure 

 aculata, with its lively rose ; and 

 with its salmon-rose flowers. And so we could pick 



species) 



We cannot claim for these the stately aspect of the Ganda- 

 are of great importance in the succession of flowers. 

 Floribundus, though not a Ramosus variety, has been placed under this heading for convenience. It is the 

 parent of the white Gandavensis varieties, and ranges in colour from the purest white to the richest mottled rose. 

 For vases its cut flowers are most effective. Colvilli and Cardinalis have also been placed under this heading, 

 and are well worthy of cultivation. Byzantinus and Communis are placed apart. They bloom very early. The 

 rich rose-purple of Byzantinus is matchless. 



Culture. — On well-drained soil trench the ground as deeply as it will admit of; in the underspit work in 

 abundance of manure ; commence planting the bulbs in November, and for succession in December and January, 

 at a depth of six inches. Until March protect with a covering of leaves or litter. Plant again in February and 

 March, placing the bulbs three to four inches deep. If the summer is dry and the weather hot, twice a week at 

 least give the ground a good soaking of water or liquid manure till the plants are in bloom. In wet situations the 

 bulbs should not be planted till spring. 



"Culture for Conservatory Decoration. — Plant three in a five or six-inch pot, and place in a cold 

 frame or pit, plunging the pots in ashes, and withholding water till the bulbs have started into growth ; or, the 

 pots may be buried in ashes out of doors, as recommended for the Hyacinth, and there allowed to remain un- 

 disturbed till ready to remove in-doors. It is customary with many to plant several bulbs close together in the 

 open border, and, when the flower-spike shows the first tint, to lift them without breaking the ball, pot them and 

 place them in-doors. Thus treated, the flowers expand as perfectly as if they had not been disturbed, and the 

 bulbs are in no way injured.
