F. H. Horsford, Charlotte, Vermont. 
IilLIUM auratum ( Golden-rayed Lily of Japan). One of the most popular of Lilies. No species ever 
had so much general favor. Flowers white, with a central band and numerous deep purple spots. 
Blooms in summer. Height, 2 to 6 feet, and not rarely 
bearing 20 large, fragrant flowers 8 to 12 inches wide. 
A splendid, grand species, of which there are many fine 
varieties in cultivation. One of its good points is that no 
two are just alike in size, color, time of flowering, etc. It 
gives a variety of bloom, over a longer time than can be 
found in almost any other plant. First-sized bulbs, 15 
cts. each, $1.35 per doz. Second-sized, 10 cts. each, 
81 per doz. Many experienced growers prefer second¬ 
sized bulbs if equally sound and fresh, e. 
Li. a. rubro-vittatum. Is a rare variety, with red stripes 
in the center of each petal. 50 cts. each. 
Li. Bolanderi. Is a small species from Oregon, with dark, 
orange-red flowers, smaller than L. Grayi , but somewhat 
like it, with a little darker red flowers. It is not hardy, 
but does finely in sandy loam, with a covering in winter 
to keep out frost. 50 cts. each. c. 
Li. bulbiferum. Comes from Europe, and is in some re¬ 
spects much like L. croceuvi. It'is a different shaped 
Lily so far as the bulb is concerned, and while L. croceuvt 
bears no bulblets, L. bulbiferum has a good crop in the ax¬ 
ils of its leaves. Flowers red, slightly cottony. 12c. ea. e .

partly drooping; chocolate-purple outside, white within. 
50 cts. each. e.

wide, of same shape as L. concolor , of which it is a va¬ 
riety. 10 cts. each, $1 per doz. c.

a most hardy species. Nice to plant among shrubbery, 
and does quite well in shade. 10 c. each, $1 per doz. c .

vigor than some. 15 cts. each.

more intensely red, and shiny green leaves. It is 
one of the hardiest and most permanent Lilies I have

Tj. olcgmiH (Thunbergii). Flowers pale scarlet, 
scarcely spotted, 5 or 6 inches wide. A fine Japanese 
species. 15 cts. each, $1.10 per doz. The species in¬ 
cludes many varieties, all handsome and easy to 
grow. d. 
Li. oletfanfl, “Best-Rod.” Is a most healthy form of 
this species, and will be found to stand more hard¬ 
ship than most Lilies. It is only a little more than a 
foot high, and has deep red flowers. 10 cts. each, $1 
per doz. d.
