Besides the species mentioned the following are considered worthy of wide popularity: L. chalcedonicum, elegans, testaceum, maximo martagon, maculatum, henrys, monadel phum and superbum. These do well with little care upon ordinary light loamy soils. L cana dense and superbum succeed upon the same soils but require rather shady places. For cold climates even as far north as Ottawa, Canada, the following have proved successful: L. broumii, wallacei, citrinum, croceum, melponiene, pardalinum, pomponium, dahuricum and bate manniee. The odors of L. croceum and pom ponium are very offensive even in the garden, and when they are planted they should be at some distance from the house. Among the most fragrant are L. longiflorum, auratum, can didum and varieties.

It is a native also of Europe and of the mountains of the south eastern United States. The plants are perfectly hardy. They thrive in partially shaded, fairly rich loam, and may be readily propagated by means 'of the underground parts. Since beds are apt to run out they should be renewed every few years. The strong terminal buds known as pips are extensively Used by florists for forcing the flowers throughout the year. Several horticultural varieties have been pro duced, some with variegated or striped foliage, others with pink, variegated, or double flowers. A highly esteemed perfume, eau d'or, is made in France from the flowers; and the rootstocks have been used by druggists, but are less popu lar than formerly.
