N.B. For the interest of buyers we have added, after the name, the plant s native country. 
QiS Auratum (The White Golden-rayed Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan), lit. 4 to 6 ft. Tins 
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 Ldy freely 
among't 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 front the 
midday sun ; on slopes, in a free soil, moist but not wet, this I.ily does well, and makes a fine effect.
