NEW AND RARE HARDY PLANTS. 
LILIUM TIGRINUM FORTUNE!. 
A Tery showy and attractive variety ; it is of noble aspect, growing to the extent of G or 7 feet 
high, the lower flower stalks running out far and free from the stem, thus giving the inflorescence 
a pyramidal outline. The flowers, a great number of which arc borne on each stem, are of a rich 
deep scarlet colour, distinctly spotted with black. 2.5. 6d. 
LILIUM TIGRINUM SPLENDENS. 
This magnificent Lily is of exceedingly robust growth ; the stem clothed or densely set fi*em the 
base with compact lanceolate foliage. The flowers, which are of beautiful form, are of a bright 
orange scarlet colour, thickly studded with large dark brown spots. It is larger and far superior to 
any other variety in its class, and is a profuse bloomer, producing as many as two dozen flowers on 
a stem. It was awarded a First Class Certificate by the Floral Committee of the Roj'al Horticul- 
tural Society. 6«. and 7s. Grf.

MAGNOLIA CAMPBELLII. 
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. Tlie descrip- 
tions and analyses in that work are from the pen and pencil of Dr. J. D. Hooker, C.B., F.R.S., and 
the following is an extract from his observations : — 
“The Magnolia Campbcllii was discovered, by Dr. Grifiith in Bhotan ; it is a lai'go forest tree, 
abounding on the outer ranges of Sikkim, at elevations of 8,000 to 10,000 feet, appearing on the 
road above Pacheem, 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 
flewers ai'e produced abundantly in April, at the end of all the branches, w’hen the tree is as yet 
perfectly leafless ; they vary from white to dee^ rose colour, or almost crimson, and in size from 
G 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. Cathcart’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 estab- 
lishment, and he will be happy to show it to visitors. Dr. Hooker’s figure has been copied in the 
Flore des Serres et des Jardins de V Europe and V Illustration Horticolc, but although beautifully 
executed, it has necessarily, from the size of those works, been much reduced. 2 guineas.
