from these later-growing bulbs stems arise at some distance from the parent stem, thus forming a colony good plan to divide them every few years This species is found in Switzerland, Southern France, Corsica, and the hills of Tuscany The variety here described and illustrated is evidently the one originally from Corsica The plant grew at the New York Botanical Garden from a bulb purchased of It is a Another variety is L croceum Chaixi, which from the Maritime Alps with generally one is a dwarf plant and never more than three flowers and is earlier-flowering than the common Lilium croceum The difference between these two varieties and also between L croceum and L bulbiferum is hard to determine on account of their having been in cultivation so long Lilium croceum has crossed with as widely different a species as F H Horsford Lilium elegans Miss Jekyll, in her "Lilies for English gardens" says, "it is a flower for the sunny garden border, carrying its grand deep orange thru cups for nearly three weeks and its deep closely leafed stems indeed the summer It will well among shrubs in half shade, so hardy that there is scarcely which it will refuse to grow." it is any kind of garden space in The orange lily blooms in June and July, and the flowers are without scent The bulb is white with broad coarse scales and 64 Addisonia and one and three quarters inches in ribbed, three to six feet high and not The leaves are scattered and lanceolate The flowers bulbiferous are in umbels, with erect broadly funnel-shaped perianths, narrowed at the base;
