Formosanum (Philippinense Formosanum). We 
are now using the European name for this 
fine lily, as bulbs of this hardy form are from 
Formosa and not the Philippines the older 
name should be dropped. This is the most re¬ 
markable lily introduced in late years, its 
ease of culture with its facility of increase 
from seeds makes it come within the range 
of everyone with a garden. Seeds sown early 
will produce flowering plants easily the same 
year. Has a wiry stem, long graceful leaves, 
trumpets are much longer and in the early 
form rather narrower than those of regale 
but similar in color, there is a pure white form 
favored for forcing but outdoors we much pre¬ 
fer the variety with the exterior of the trum¬ 
pets pleasingly colored. Heavy stem rooter.

plenty of muck and peat moss, some old man¬

white with a purplish base and midribs. We
