LILIES — continued. 
Elh Auratum (The White Golden-rayed Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan), ht. 4 to 6 ft. This 
is indeed the Queen of Lilies, and should have a place in every garden and greenhouse. It com- 
mences to bloom in August and continues on into September. It is of simplest culture and perfectly 
hardy. Those who have beds or borders of Rhododendrons should plant this grand Lily freely 
amongst them for a succession of bloom. Growing amongst Paeonies, and along the margins of ever- 
greens, groups of L. auratum (6 to 12 bulbs in a clump, planted 9 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 midday sun ; on slopes, in a free soil, moist but not wet, this Lily does well, and makes a 
fine effect. 
We are expecting our first consignment of this beautiful Lily to arrive early in December from 
fapan, and we are booking orders for delivery immediately on arrival , at the following prices.
