JLILIUM AURATUM, or NEW GOLDEN-STRIPED 

 JAPAN LILT. 



Of all the flowering plants recently introduced from Japan, this is the 

 finest No description can exaggerate its beauty. The late Prof. Lindley 

 thus spoke of it : " If ever flower merited the name of glorious, it is this, 

 whether we regard its size, its sweetness, or its exquisite arrangement of 



color." The flower, ten to twelve inches across, composed of six delicate 

 white parts, each being thickly studded with crimson spots and having a 

 bright golden band through the centre.

VARIOUS LILIES. 



There are no plants more suitable for out-door culture ; and we hope ere 

 long to see them more extensively grown in our public and private gardens. 

 They flower in the heyday of summer, and have a dignity of character 

 which places them apart from other bulbs or herbaceous plants. What can 

 surpass the snowy whiteness of L. Longi/lorum, with flowers six inches 

 across, and delightfully fragrant ; or the beautiful and brilliant Chalcedoni- 

 cum, — the " Lily of the Field," as it is called. They are all, indeed, good 

 and noble plants, and numerous, too, — so much so that our space pre- 

 vents us going into their merits.
