AURATUM, LATE FLOWERING FORM This form, which 
starts to open when L. Auratum is going by and continues 
well into October at Sandyloam, is a decided addition to 
the autumn garden. Though there is not the same degree 
of color variation as in L. auratum, the blooms are large, 
and the plants are normally much taller than in the type.

dant or tilted, and somewhat hooded — in contrast to the 
wide-open flowers characteristic of the type.
