The-  Mar tacj oils  form  a  sub-genus  of  Lilium,  and  are  mostly  distinguishable  by  their  turn-cap,  or  Turk  s-cap  shape,  L.  cananense  being 
a  marked  exception.  Wo  figure  the  typical  purple  L.  M-irtagon  and  its  rare  and  chastely  beautiful  albino  form.  L.  cnalcedonicum 
is  a  common  and  popular  representative  of  the  group.  Martagons,  in  general,  make  no  stem  roots,  hence  they  should  not  be  planted 
deeply,  but  the  soil  should  be  deep,  for  they  root  straight  doicn.  A  loamy  tilth,  and  a  cool,  damp  place  suits  them  admbahly.
