Excerpt from Notes on Lilies and Their Culture: A Reliable Guide for Beginners Since the time when the Golden Banded Queen (lilium Auratum), only a few years ago, burst upon us in her wondrous splen dour - taking captive the startled senses of all, not merely horticulturists, but the public generally, by the enormous Size and number of her flowers, their powerful fragrance, their elegant and graceful contour, their richness of ornamentation on a pure white ground, and by the general stateliness of the plant, - the cultivation of Lilies has received a great impetus. Since that date, not only has Japan sent us Lily bulbs by tens of thousands, but America, both from her Eastern and Western Provinces, has contributed largely. India, Siberia, and the Caucasus, &c., &e., have furnished their quota, and Lily cultivators, who some ten or twelve years ago might almost have been counted on the fingers, are now to be numbered by the thousand.
