L. —, var. “Best Red.” Is a most healthy 
form of this species, and will be found to stand 
more hardship than most Lilies. It is only a 
little more than a foot high, and has deep red 
flowers..

strong variety of A. clegans about 2^ feet 
high, with reddish salmon-colored flowers. 
One of the best.

L. excelsum. See L. testaceum. 
L. Grayi. A native of the moun¬ 
tains 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, and is a desirable addition to the list. -30 
L. Hansoni. Attains a height of 3 feet under favorable conditions. Flowers 
reddish orange, 6 to 10 in a cluster. A rare Japanese Lily.65 
L. Henryi. This splendid new Lily from the mountains of China is a great ad¬ 
dition to this class of bulbous plants. It is the most vigorous Lily I have seen. 
Its flowers closely resemble the L . speciosum in shape, but in color they are 
a handsome deep orange-yellow banded with green.2 
L. Humboldtii. Has a stout stem, 4 to 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. 
L. japonicum (A. Brozvnii ). Bears 3 or 4 flowers, 
7 to 8 inches long, partly drooping; chocolate-purple 
outside, white within. July. 
L. Krameri [A. japonicum according to Index 
Kewensis, but horticulturally distinct] . 
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 pure white in a 
few to a deep reddish pink. They are 
of fairly good size but of a most deli¬ 
cate structure, quite in keeping 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 
J \ ^ v 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 has not succeeded with 
me, and I have now several hun¬ 
dred 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 .
