forms; very hardy and a reliable one for general 
use. A little later in blooming. N., 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz.; P., 11 cts. each, $1.10 per doz. 
L. excelsum. See L . testaceum. 
L. Grayi. 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. Though a rare 
plant, it is easily managed in a sandy loam. N., 
20 cts. each; P., 22 cts. each. 
L. Hansoni. See L . mciculatum . 
L. Henryi. A splendid new Lily from the moun¬ 
tains of China. It is the most vigorous Lily I 
have ever seen. Its flowers closely resemble 
the L. speciosum in shape, but in color they are 
a handsome deep orange-yellow banded with 
green. N., $1 each; P., $1.05 each. 
L. Humboldtii. See L. maculatum . 
L. Japonicum, var. Brownii. See L. Brownii , page 22. 
L. —, var. roseum ( L. Krameri). 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 structure, quite in keep¬ 
ing with the color. It is a little difficult to grow 
on account of the fall rain getting into the cen¬ 
ter 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. There seems to be little difficult}' in 
having them live when fresh bulbs are set in 
spring. N., 20 cts. each; P., 22 cts. each. 
L. Krameri. See L. Japonicum , var. roseum. 
L. Leichtlinii. See L. Maximowiczi. 
L. longiflorum. A grand Lily, with pure white, 
funnel-shaped flowers, often 7 inches long. N., 
12 cts. each, $1.10 per doz.; P., 13 cts. each, 
$1.30 per doz. 
L. —, var. Takasima. A charming form of Longi¬ 
florum. N., 20 cts. each; P., 23 cts. each. 
Lilium maculatum (L. Hansoni ). Under favorable con¬ 
ditions attains a height of 3 feet. Flowers red¬ 
dish orange, 0 to 10 in a cluster; petals thick 
and durable. A rare Japanese Lily that is 
rather high in price, but so permanent and 
healthy has it been with me that I consider it 
one of the cheapest. I have never lost a bulb 
after it was once established, and I have bulbs 
which have bloomed every year for years. N., 
75 cts. each; P., 78 cts. each. 
L. martagon. European Turk’s Cap Lily. A 
fine species when once established. N., 15 
cts. each; P., 17 cts. each. 
L. Maximowiczi (L. Leichtlinii ), var. Reddish Yel¬ 
low. This is a later-blooming species than most 
of the red and yellow kinds. A stronger and 
surer strain than the yellow variety. N., 20 cts 
each, $1.50 per doz.; P., 21 cts. each, $1.60 
per doz. 
L. pardalinum. Has done fairly well here in culti¬ 
vation, and is a very fine species. Flowers 
orange-red, with lighter orange center and pur¬ 
ple spots on the lower half. A Lily that will 
thrive in wet, sandy situations. N., 15 cts. each, 
$1.25 per doz.; P., 17 cts. each, $1.45 per doz. 
L. Philadelphicum. The wild native Lily of our 
sandy plains and rocky hilltops. It varies much 
in different soils, and seldom thrives in soils 
where clay predominates. It is a h and some 
Lily, with deep orange-red flowers. N., 12 cts. 
each, $1.15 per doz.; P., 15c. each, $1.25 per doz.
