Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan), this is, indeed, the 
Queen of Lilies, and should have a place in every garden and 
greenhouse. It is of simplest culture and perfectly hardy. 
Those who have beds of Rhododendrons should plant this 
grand Lily freely amongst them for a succession of flowers. 
Growing amongst Pseonies, and along the margins of ever- 
greens, clumps of L. auratum (six to twelve bulbs in a clump, 
planted three to six inches apart), produce a grand effect. As 
isolated subjects on large lawns, groups of Lilium auratum 
look very handsome and stately. A situation should be chosen 
where the plants are sheltered from cutting winds and screened 
from the mid-day sun.
