LILIUM AUiiATUM. (See preceding paae.) 
LILIES, continued 
Lilium lancifolium rubrum. This we 
think beyond question the hardiest of all 
of the Japanese Lilies. The plant grows 
to the height of about 18 to 24 inches. 
Foliage dark green and lanceolate, hence 
the name. Flower': borne in clusters of 
from five to twenty, pink at margin of 
petal, deep rose color in center, thickly 
dotted with brown ; petals curling back 
like petals of the Tiger Lily. We regard 
it as perfectly hardy. 
L. tigrinuni (Tiger Lily). Very common; 
color orange-salmon, spotted with dark 
brown. 
Corn Lily 
Foliage pale green, very long, slender 
and pointed. Flowers borne in clusters, 
and the individual flowers last but for 
one day. The Lily is salmon color, 
tinged with red. Perfectly hardy. 
Day Lily 
(Funkia alba) 
This is the common white Day Lily 
which we see so often in house culture. 
The blossoms are trumpet-shaped, glossy 
white in color, and borne in clusters. 
The plant is liardy here in open ground 
with but little protection. 
Lemon Lily 
A pretty plant, with long, narrow 
leaves, and flower-stalks 2 to 3 feet high, 
crowned by beautiful lemon-colored flow- 
ers, 3 to 4 inches in diameter; fragrant. 
Lily=of=the=Valley 
Low plant; flower- stalks about (i inches 
high, with small, cup-shaped white flow- 
ers along the stalk.
