EULIRION GROUP. 
In this Group the flowers are funnel or trumpet-shaped, horizontal or slightly drooping. Candidum the 
Snow-white Lily, is European ; Washingtonianum, American ; Longiflorum, and the varieties of Japonicum 
Japanese ; Cordifolium giganteum, and Wallichianum, Indian. The Indian and Japanese Lilies of this Group 
are hardy, but it is advisable in winter to protect them with litter or leaves. Wallichianum, we think, should be 
grown under glass. Washingtonianum comes from a very high elevation, where the summer is' short and 
hot, and the winter severe: its treatment should, therefore, be exceptional, the soil should be well drained 
of a naturally dry character, and when the plants have done blooming, they should have the protection of a 
hand light for a few months. All the species in this group are fragrant. Cordifolium giganteum is the most 
noble Lily in cultivation ; Japonicum Krameri is the most refined of all Lilies ; and Wallichianum is the grandest 
of the Longiflorum group. These Lilies commence flowering out-of-doors in July and continue into September 
When cultivated for the conservatory they can be had in bloom earlier if required. Lilium candidum is now 
very largely forced to cut early for Covent Garden. each—*

MARTAGON GROUP. ' ' 
The varieties comprising this Group are the Turk's-Cap Lilies; the divisions of the perianth are rolled back, 
so that the flower resembles a turban, except in the case of Canadense, which is somewhat bell-shaped! 
Martagon, Monadelphum, Pomponium, and Pyrenaicum are European ; Chalcedonicum from Asia ; Testaceum, 
supposed to be a hybrid. The bog, or swamp loving Lilies of America, Superbum, Canadense, and Pardalinum! 
attain a gigantic height planted in beds of moist peat. They are admirably adapted for growing among Rhodo- 
dendrons and Azaleas in moist situations, and by the side of brooks, ponds, rivulets, &c. Mr. Roezl informs 
us he has frequently collected roots of Pardalinum from a water-course. Humboldti, the grandest of the 
Californian Lilies, is found at a high elevation, and therefore should be planted in the drier part of the Rhodo- 
dendron bed. Pomponium and Pyrenaicum commence flowering out of doors in May. The varieties in this 
Group yield a succession of flowers till well nigh September. Cultivated in the conservatory, they all bloom 
earlier. each—*

ARCHELIRION GROUP. 
The flowers are open and reflexed, horizontal or slightly drooping. The introducer of Speciosum, in his 
description remarks, “If there is anything not human which is magnificent in beauty, it is Lilium Speciosum.” 
Auratum has been called the Queen of Lilies ; and we think that Tigrinum may fairly be termed the Prince of 
Lilies. The varieties in this group flower from July to the end of September.
