LILIUM TIGRINUM FLORE-PLENO. 
This attractive variety produces beautiful double flowers of a bright orange scarlet colour ; the 
segments are thickly studded with dark brown spots except at the tips, which are recurved. It has 
been introduced from Japan, and is a distinct and extremely handsome variety. It can be strongly 
recommended as one of the very best Lilies in cultivation. For illustration, vide page 73. 3s. 6(7.,

MAGNOLIA CAMPBELLI. 
Our first knowledge in Europe of this gorgeously beautiful new hardy plant was derived from a plate 
given in a very magnificent work, entitled Illustrations of Himalayan Plants. The descriptions and 
analyses in that work are from the pen and pencil of Dr. J. D. Hooker, C.B., Pres. 11. S., and the 
following is an extract from his observations : — 
“ The Magnolia Campbcllii was discovered by Dr. Griffith in Bhotan ; it is a large forest tree 
abounding on the outer ranges of Sikkim, at elevations of 8,000 to 10,000 feet, appearing on the road 
above Paclieem, and thence ascending to the top of Sinchul, 8,000, and Tonglo, 10,000 feet ; though 
occasionally seen on the central ranges at the same elevations, it is much less frequent. The flowers 
are produced abundantly in April, at the end of all the branches, when the tree is as yet perfectly 
leafless ; they vary from white to deep rose colour, or almost crimson, and in size from 6 to 10 inches ; 
the scent is faint. In May the tree is in full leaf, and the fruit ripens in October, when a few small 
and often deformed flowers are sometimes produced. The flowering branch drawn in Mr. Catlicart’s 
collection is nearly twice as large as that represented here. Young plants have the leaves perfectly 
glabrous ; those of older trees are more or less silky on the under surface.” 
Without referring to Illustrations of Himalayan Plants, it is difficult to realise the magnificence 
either in size or colour of this Magnolia. A copy of the work can be seen at Mr. W. Bull’s establish- 
ment, and he will be happy to show it to visitors. Dr. Hooker’s figure has been copied in the Flore 
des Sores et des Jardins dc V Europe, and L' Illustration Ilorticolc, but although beautifully executed, 
it has necessarily, from the size of these works, been much reduced. I, 2 and 3 guineas. 
MAXIMOWICZIA CHINENSIS. 
A deciduous Schizandraceous shrub, of sarmentose habit. The flowers are disecious, pale rose colour 
and agreeably scented. The female flowers have the torus considerably elongated so as to bear numerous, 
pear-shaped cinnabar-coloured pulpy or baccate carpels, which, as they somewhat resemble bunches of 
red currants, have a very ornamental appearance. It comes from the Amoor country, and is therefore 
perfectly hardy. 7s. 6(7.
