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. Superbum, Canadense, and Pardalinum, attain a 
gigantic height planted in beds of moist peat. They are admirably adapted'for growing among Rhododendrons 
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 Rhododendron bed. Pom- 
ponium and Pyrenaicum commence flowering out of doors in May. The varieties of this Group maintain a 
succession till well nigh September. Cultivated for the conservatory, they all bloom earlier. each— s. d.

ARCHELIRION GROUP. 
The flowers are open and refle.xed, 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 
Liles. These flower from July to the end of September. Several varieties of Speciosum are omitted as not 
being sufficiently distinct ; those enumerated differ one from the other. 
The Auratum. All the varieties of this Lily are white, with a central gold band in each petal more or less 
conspicuous. Some have small, others medium, and some again have enormous flowers, all more or less spotted. 
In some the spots on the white ground are very profuse, in others they are comparatively fau. Some of the 
varieties have large spots, and others have the spots small. It is noteworthy of this Lily that some of the 
varieties bloom in August, some in September, and others in October. We have noted the time of blooming, 
so that purchasers can ha-ae bulbs which have bloomed with us this year in August or September. The 
ex.'s indicate the quality of the flower.

Speciosum {or more usually though erroneously called Lancifolium) naturally divides itself into two distinct 
sections, which are distinguishable by the coloration of the stem. 
1. Rubrum is characterised by the stem being brownish, ranging to purplish black, the green of the foliage 
deepening pro ratio with the colour of the stem. Rubrum verum has a purplish black stem. 
2. Roseum is characterised by the stem being brownish, ranging to light green, and the shade of the foliage 
pro ratio with the green of the stem Roseum verum has a pale green stem, «
