LILIUM AURATUM, 3 YEARS ESTABLISHED IN POT. 
£& 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 commences to 
bloom in August and continues on into 
September. It is of simplest culture and 
perfectly hardy. Growing amongst Pceonies, 
and along the margins of evergreens, 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 hand- 
some 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, rather moist 
but not wet, this Lily does well, and makes 
a fine effect. 
We are expecting our first consignment 
oj this beautiful Lily to arrive earlv in 
December from Japan, and we are booking 
orders for delivery immediately on arrival , 
at the following prices. The larger-sized 
bulbs produce the most flowers.
