How many White Lilies are native of the Pacific Coast? Some four years since, I received some bulbs from the Sierras described as " white, very fragrant;" also one dug in the woods near Oregon City, description same. I supposed them to be identical, but there were differences in appearance and growth from the first, and this year has still greater difference in flower.

The Oregon has flowers in general shape like Candidum, of good size and firm texture, very glossy, white, specked with chocolate dots. Those from California are similar in shape, but the divisions are much narrower, especially at base, where they are quite claw-like. They are unspotted, but have a conspicuous green line extending from the base of each petal half-way to the tip.

The Oregon is altogether the finer Lily, and stronger in growth, being still green and vigorous, while the California by its side, died to the ground more than a month ago. Both bloom in June, the California first.
