In Pluton Creek, near the Geysers, in 1876, a dwarf wild L. pardalinum 

 was found. From this many curious seedling forms have developed by con- 

 stant selection since; the most remarkable being a variety growing only ten 

 mches high and producing from ticcnty to forty blosso77is on each of these short stalks 

 (the usual number for the species being from three to eight). The effect produced 

 by this crown of flowers set on the tuft of dark-green leaves is very pleasing 

 and not to be found elsewhere among Lilies. This variety' is as easily grown as 

 Potatoes.

"You are certainly entitled to the credit claimed by some of our favorite Eastern 

 florists, of doing ' better than we promise.' "
