: i Digitized by VjOOQIC LILIUM AURATUM 19 There are several good forms of Tiger Lily besides the old ordinary one, which is always a capital garden plant. L. Fortunei is a bold plant, and the most woolly of the tomentose kinds. There is a still larger one, known as Fortunei giganteum. The flowers of these are of a paler colour than the type, and the stems are greener. Leopoldi is a variety whose stenis are dark and smooth. But the finest of all is the one known as spkndenSy with the largest fl...owers of the strongest colour, sometimes growing to a height of seven feet. Bulbs of the Tiger Lilies should be planted rather deep, about seven inches, as they have stem-roots. They increase fairly fast, and should be replanted about every three years. They can also be readily increased by the abundant bulbils that most of them produce in the axils of the leaves. These make flower- ing bulbs in from three to four years. It likes a lightish loam, or loamy sand, and leaf- mould, and, like all Lilies, is thankful for a manurial mulch.
