A lady in "Garden Magazine" for September, 1907, writes: "Although 
only one of my three bulbs of the Leopard Bog Lily (L. Pardalinum), 
planted in the fall of 1905, bore flowers this season, nine stalks appeared 
from three bulbs, three of which were in ilower about the middle of July." 
A customer from Akron, Ohio, writes that Lilium Llumboldtii Mag- 
nificum did finely there without protection. 
Mr. E. V. Hallock, one of the largest bulb growers in America in his 
time, in an address before the Society of American Florists this August, 
says: ''Lilium Pardalinum from California is a good keeping, free and 
sure flowering lily. Ninety-five per cent of the bulbs should bloom. Lilium 
Parryii from California is a very handsome yellow variet}^ and is not diffi- 
cult to bloom." Mr. Flallock does not think well of Flumboldtii and Wash- 
ingtonianum for the East, and I cannot recommend the type Washing- 
tonianum which T will not sell on account of their poor growing and keeping 
qualities. 
On the other hand, Lilium Washingtonianum pur pureum is a good 
grower and keeper, and Lilium llumboldtii Magnificum cannot be excelled. 
Lilium Sulphureum. A magnificent lily native of liimalayas. O tall 
stem with immense long spreading trumpet, which is white with creamy 
throat. Very fragrant. There is no grander lily known. Tt likes well
