L. excelsum. See L. testaceum. 
L. Crayl. A native of the mountains of North Carolina. One of the best, with 
dark, reddish orange flowers. It grows about 2 feet high, bearing usually a 
single flower. Fine for cutting with As/i/be Jjponica or Achillea, “ The Pearl.” 
with which it flowers and contrasts finely. Though a rare plant, it is easily 
managed in a sandy loam, and is a desirable addition to the list.20

L. Henryl. A splendid new Lily from the mountains of China. It is the most 
vigorous Lily I have seen. Its flowers closely resemble the L. speciostun in 
shape, but in color they are a handsome deep orange-yellow banded with 
green . . .'. 1 50 15 00 1 55 15 60 
L. Humboldtii. See L. maculatum* 
L. Japonlcum var Brownll (L . Brownii). hears 3 or 4 
flowers. 7 to 8 inches long, partly drooping; chocolate- 
purple outside, white witliin. July . .. . 
L. Japonlcum, var. roseum (L Kraineri). All who see 
this Lily in flower admire it, and it is often thought to 
be 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 struc¬ 
ture, quite in keening with the color. It 
is a little difficult 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 cel¬ 
lar in damp soil. There seems to be 
little difficulty in having them live when 
fresh bulbs are set in spring . . .
