A field of Lilium elegans, taken in our Nurseries

N., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, 
$1.40 per doz. 
L. —, var. Wallacei. One of the smaller and later 
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. 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., 75 cts. each, $7 per doz.; P., 80 cts. 
each, $7.50 per doz. 
L. Humboldtii. See L. maculatum. 
L. Japonicum, var. Brownii. See L. Brownii, page 21. 
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 flow¬ 
ers vary from pure white in a few to a deep red¬ 
dish pink. They are of fairly good size but of 
a most delicate structure, quite in keeping with 
the color. It is a little difficult to grow on ac¬ 
count of the fall rain getting into tiie center of 
the bulb and rotting it. It is said that the Jap¬ 
anese 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 difficulty 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. Mciximowicpi.

of Longiflorum. N. 20 cts. each; P., 23 cts. 
each. 
L. maculatum (L. Hansoni). Under favorable con¬ 
ditions attains a height of 3 feet. Flowers red¬ 
dish orange, G 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. 1 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 Ltly. A fine 
species when once established. N., 15 cts. each;

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.

soil, and be planted at least 10 inches below the 
surface. N., 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.; P., 55 
cts. each, $5.GO per doz.
