deep orange-yellow banded with green. N.,$1.50 
each, $15 per doz.; P., $1.55 each, $15.00 perdoz. 
L. Humboldtii. See L.maculatum. 
L. Japonicum, var. Brownii. Soe7v. Brownii , page 22. 
L. Japonicum, var. roscum (L. Kramcri). All who 
see this Lily in flower ndmire it, and it is often 
thought to bo 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 difllcult to grow 
on account of the fall rain 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. I 
now have several hundred fine bulbs which I 
am wintering in the cellar in damp soil. There 
seems to bo little difficulty in having them live 
when fresh bulbs are set in spring. N., 20 cts. 
each; P., 22 cts. each.
