LILIUM auralum. Golden - banded Japan Lily. 
This is the most popular Lily grown. No spe¬ 
cies ever had so much general favor. It is a 
very variable species in the size, color, etc., of 
its dowers, and also in the time of flowering. A 
bed of 100 Auratums will produce flowers over a 
longer time than a hundred of any other Lily 
species. Flowers white, with a central band 
and numerous deep purple spots. Height 2 to 
6 feet, not rarely bearing 20 large, fragrant 
flowers 8 to 12 inches across. Its fragrance is 
something wonderful —so strong that a large 
bouquet of Auratums will fill a large church 
with their odor. July and August. (See illus¬ 
tration below, and on back cover page. )
