The Lilium Auratu'm is the great Lily from Japan, called the "Golden-banded Lily.'* This is the king of Lilies. The flower is from, eight to twelve inches across, composed of six delicate ivory white petals, each being thickly studded with rich chocolate crimson spots, and having a bright golden band through the centre of each petal, with an exquisite vanilla- like perfume. As the bulbs acquire age and strength, the flowers obtain their maximum size and number. Upwards of twelve flowers have been produced on a single stem. It is per- fectly hardy, and thrives best in a dry, rather poor garden loam, and should be planted six inches in depth; also admirably adapted for pot culture. The Japan Lilies.—Lilium Lanci- jolium,—are among the most beautiful and delightfully fragrant, and are suited for either pot or garden culture; their period of blooming is during the months of July and August. Our list will be found to embrace all the best and leading varieties. They are all hardy, and the bulbs can be planted either in the autumn or spring, although autumn is preferable; Candidum and LongifloTum Japonicura must be planted in the autumn, as they commence then to grow; and a covering of manure will be found beneficial for all the varieties, but must be removed early in the spring. The ground should be thoroughly drained for Lilies. EACH. DOZ. Auratum (Golden-banded Lily). "White, with rich crimson spots, and golden band through the centre of each petal.
