LILIUM 
LANCIFOLIUM. 
Next to the Lilium 
auratum we must 
place the lancifolium 
or speciosum type, so 
exquisite in form and 
so easily cultivated. 
Specimens frequently 
may be seen flower¬ 
ing abundantly from 
pots in the squares 
and on balconies in 
the very centre of 
our large cities late 
in summer, and coin¬ 
ing at a time of year 
when flowers arc 
scarce makes it 
doubly welcome. It 
thrives well out in 
the border, and, with 
its pure chaste white, 
orange, crimson- 
spotted and rose 
spotted fl o w e r s, is 
very attractive.

The finest of all hardy Lilies for pot culture, alike for beauty, infinite variety, fragrance, and easy culture, are L. Aura¬ 
tum and L. Lancifolium. . Hardy Lilies for forcing should be started any time from the first of January to May 30th. 
Under_ordinary conditions Lilies may be had in bloom from May to November. 
Lilium Auratum, the Golden Rayed Lily of Japan, is one of the most magnificent varieties. It can be forced into 
flower early in the summer, is most attractive when grown in a natural way and allowed to bloom in August, whilst its 
elegant relation the Easter Lily is invaluable as a winter and spring decorative plant, and is very largely grown for Christ¬ 
mas and Easter festivals, where its immense trumpet flowers of snow-like purity are invaluable.
