The Auratum. All the varieties of this Lily are white , with a central gold band in each petal more or less 
conspicuous; also more or less spotted. In some the spots on the white ground are very profuse, in others they 
are comparatively few. The spots in some varieties arc large, in others small. It is noteworthy of this Lily 
that some bloom in August, some in September, and others in October; therefore, to secure a succession, the 
Lilies being cheap, a quantity should be purchased and potted for the conseivalory, or for planting out-doors.
