July to early Aug. W. China. —One of the most beautiful of all known lilies, the exquisite blending of tints and colors forming a charming contrast with the rich, deep green foliage. Highly recommended for general cultured both for pots and the open ground, where it is hardy, strong-growing and permanent as far north as Boston. L. myriophyllum, Franch., which is not in culture, differs in its oblate white bulb, its 3-nerved leaves, suberect nearly tubular flowers, short pedicels and glabrous filaments. CH
