Hardy Perennials 
23 
Lilium elegans, var. umbellatum is one of the more 
common forms and a rather strong grower. N., 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz.; P., 13 cts. each, $1.30 
per doz. 
L. —, var. Wallacei. One of the smaller and later 
forms; very hardy and a reliable one for general 
use. A little later in blooming. N., 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz.; P., 11 cts. each, $1.10 per doz. 
L. excelsum. See L. testaceum . 
L. Grayi. A native of the mountains of North 
Carolina. One of the best, with dark, reddish 
orange flowers. It grows about 2 feet high, bear¬ 
ing usually a single flower. Though a rare plant, 
it is easily managed in a sandy loam. N., 20 cts. 
each, $1.75 per doz.; P., 22c. each, $1.90 per doz. 
L. Hansoni. See L. maculatam . 
L. Henryi. A splendid new Lily from the moun¬ 
tains of China. It is the most vigorous Lily I 
have ever seen. Its flowers closely resemble the 
L. speciosum in shape, but in color they are a 
handsome deep orange-yellow banded with green. 
N., $1 each; P., $1.05 each. 
L. Humboldtii. See L. maculatum. 
L. Japonicum, var. Brownii. See L. Brownii , page 22. 
L. Japonicum, var. roseum (L. Krameri ). All who 
see this Lily in flower admire it, and it is often 
thought to be the most delicately tinted of all. 
The flowers vary from pure white in a few to a 
deep reddish pink. They are of fairly good size 
but of a most delicate structure, quite in keep¬ 
ing with the color. It is a little difficult to grow 
on account of the fall rain getting into the center 
of the bulb and rotting it. It is said that the 
Lilium Japonicum, var. roseum, continued. 
Japanese often plant this Lily on its side, so that 
its scales will shed the rains, and to prevent the 
water from entering the center of the bulb. 
There seems to be little difficulty in having them 
live when fresh bulbs are set in spring. N., 
20 cts. each; P., 22 cts. each. 
r 
Lilium Krameri. 
L. Krameri. See L . Japonicum, var. roseum. 
L. Leichtlinii. See L . Maximowiczi . 
L. longiflorum. A grand Lily, with pure white, fun¬ 
nel-shaped flowers, often 7 inches long. N., 12c. 
each, $1.10 per doz. ; P., 13 cts. each, $1.30 
per doz. 
L. Martagon. Dull purplish red flowers, with pur¬ 
ple spots. N., 25 cts. each.; P., 27 cts. each. 
L. maculatum (L. Hansoni ). Under favorable con¬ 
ditions attains a height of 3 feet. Flowers red¬ 
dish orange, 6 to 10 in a cluster ; petals thick 
and durable. A rare Japanese Lily that is rather 
high in price, but so permanent and healthy has 
it been with me that I consider it one of the 
cheapest. I never have lost a bulb after it was 
once established, and I have bulbs which have 
bloomed every year for the last six years. N., 
75 cts. each; P., 78 cts. each. 
L. Maximowiczi (L. Leichtlinii ), var. Reddish Yel¬ 
low. This is a later blooming species than most 
of the red and yellow kinds. A stronger and 
surer strain than the yellow variety. N., 20 cts. 
each, $1.50 per doz. ; P., 21 cts. each, $1.60 
per doz.
