Li. Huinboldtii. Has a stout stem, 4 or 5 feet high; bulb large, 2 to 4 inches 
thick. Produces often 6 to 10 flowers per stalk, of a reddish orange shade, 
covered with purple spots. Few Lilies excel it in beauty when at its best. It 
should have a warm, dry, sandy or gravelly soil, and be planted at least 10 inches 
below the surface. I have some very fine bulbs of this Lily.. 25

75 cts. each, 2 for $1.30. d. 
Li. Henryi. This splendid new Lily from the mountains of China 
is a great addition to this class of bulbous plants. It is the most 
vigorous Lily I have seen. Its flowers closely resemble the L. sped- 
osum in shape, but in color they are a handsome deep orange-yel¬ 
low banded with green. $1.50 and $2 each, according to size. d. 
Lj. Kramori. Everybody who sees this Lily in flower admires it, 
and it is often thought to be the most delicately tinted of all. The 
flowers vary from a pure white in a few to a deep reddish pink. 
They are of fairly good size, but of a most delicate structure, quite 
in keeping with the color. It is a little difficult to grow on account 
of the fall rains getting into the center of the bulb and rotting it. It 
is said that the 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. This method of planting has not succeeded 
with me, and I have now several hundred fine bulbs which I am wintering in the cellar in damp soil. 
There seems to be little difficulty in having them live when fresh bulbs are set in spring. 15 cts. 
each, $1.35 per doz. c.

50c. each. d. 
Ij. pardxilinum. Has done well here in cultivation, and is a
