FRED'K H. HORSFORD, CHARLOTTE, VERMONT. 
A cluster of Loiujiflorum Lilies. 
’ ” 'UM pardalinum. Has done well 
here in cultivation, and is a 
very fine species. Flowers 
orange-red, with lighter 
orange center and purple 
spots on the lower half. A 
Lily that will thrive in wet, 
sandy situations. N., 15 cts. 
each, $1.25 per doz.; P., 17c. 
each, $1.45 per doz. 
parvum. A rather small spe¬ 
cies from California, with 
light yellow, erect flowers. 
Not so easily grown as some. 
N., 40c. each; P., 41c. each. 
Philadelphicum. The wild na¬ 
tive Lily of our sandy plains 
and rocky hill-tops. It varies 
much in different soils, and 
seldom thrives in soils where 
clay predominates. It is a 
handsome Lily, with deep 
orange-red flowers. N., 10c.

L. maculatum (L. Jlansoni). Under favorable con¬ 
ditions attains a height of 3 feet. Flowers red¬ 
dish orange, (> to 10 in a cluster; petals thick 
and durable. A rare Japanese Lily tliat is rather 
high in price, but so permanent and hcnlthy 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.

Mnximowiczi {L. Leichttinii), var. Reddish Yel¬

per doz.

reddish orange shade, covered with purple spots. 
Few Lilies excel it in beauty when at its best.

surface. I have some very fine bulbs of this 
Lily. N., 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; P., 55 cts.
