Leaves richly mottled in dark brown, scape one-to sixteen-i 
dowered, slender, filaments slender, fiower closely recurved, straw 
colored, orange at the center; the most floriferous and one of the 
finest species, long known as grandifiorum. 
92. E. HARTWEGI. 
The easiest of all to grow; short, thick bulbs, of great vitality, 
and fiowers like giganteum, but each borne on a separate stalk; 
one of the best and most satisfactory sorts. 
93. E. MONTANUM. 
Like E. giganteum in liower, but pure white with orange center. 
Leaves not mottled. A beautiful but very difficult alpine species. 
SECTION II.—.STYLE NOT DIVIDED. 
97. E. CITRINUM. 
Leaves mottled, stem 1—3 dowered, petals broad, strongly 
recurved, light yellow, orange at center, the tips becoming pink. 
The mottled leaves and undivided style, with yellow dowers, 
mark it clearly. 
94. E. HENDERSONII. 
Leaves mottled in dark brown, petals strongly recurved, pale 
purple with a very dark purple, almost black center. 
95. E. PURPURASCENS. 
Leaves not mottled, shaded in dark metallic tints. The small 
spreading fiowers crowded in a raceme. Color light yellow 
(almost white), center orange, becoming purplish. The smallest 
of our Ervthroniumas. Properly an alpine. Difficult to grow 
successfully. 
96. E. HOWELLII. 
Leaves mottled, scape 1-3 dowered, dower pale yellow with 
orange base,becomingpinkish. 01 our Pacificcoast Erythroniums 
this alone is destitute of the ear shaped appendages at inner base 
of petal. 
Fritillaria. 
These are graceful plants usually called lilies where they grow and 
the nearest relatives of the true lilies. All are graceful, many interest¬ 
ing from their peculiar coloring, and some are very beautiful. Few 
lilies are handsomer than F. recurva and F. coccinea. 
GROUP I. 
These are rather low. The leaves scattered thickly on the lower 
part of the stout stem; and the broadly bell shaped dowers nodding 
above. The bulb is formed of large broad scales. They are very hardy, 
^rowing well on heavv soil, and increasing fast, excellent garden 
plants.
