golden-rayed Queen of Lilies Is the most beautiful of the 
My family. It Is perfectly hardy ; and for the adornment of 
the Flower-garden, the Conservatory, and the Sitting-room, 
it is unrivalled. The whole English floral world, on Its in- 
troduction, was Jubilant with delight, hailing lis advent as 
an astronomer would the discovery of a star of the first 
magnitude | and in every city, hoth in Europe and America, 
It has received ovations such as would have been dear to 
the heart of the most ambitious prima-donna or the most 
successful conquering hero." 
Specimens were exhibited the past summer in England. 6
