LILIES IN THE HOME GARDEN. 



E. S. Miller of Wading River, N. Y., 

 was the lecturer at Horticultural Hall 

 last Saturday morning in the weekly 

 course under the auspices of the Mass- 

 achusetts Horticultural Society. His 

 subject was "Lilies in the Home Gar- 

 den," and the lecture was illustrated 

 by a series of beautiful stereopticon 

 views, colored by Mrs. Cornelius Van 

 Brunt. Mr. Miller gave a lively and 

 entertaining account of the history of 

 the lily, of which he said about 150 

 species are known. The "lily of the 

 field" mentioned in Scripture was 

 probably not a lily, but an anemone. 



The culture of lilies varies with con- 

 ditions of climate and soil. Direc- 

 tions for growing were given, also for 

 raising L. tenuifolium and others from 

 seed. The beds are covered with hay 

 or excelsior in the early stages of 

 germination. Two of the reasons why 

 lilies are not more generally grown In 

 the home garden is because dealers too 

 often recommend as reliable species 

 which are not hardy in our variable 

 climate. Many lilies cannot stand our 

 hot. dry summer. To raise them suc- 

 cessfully we must produce artificial 

 conditions which resemble the natural 

 conditions in which they originated. 

 Rockwork. plenty of moisture and 

 some shade give favorable conditions. 



Many amateurs do well by planting 

 lilies among shrubbery. Soil is not 

 as important as drainage. Planting 

 should be done in October. Small bulbs 

 should be planted three inches deep, 

 and the largest bulbs from eight to 

 twelve inches. The lily has few insect 

 enemies, and it is one of the most de- 

 sirable of all flowers for the garden. 



In the discussion which followed Mr. 

 Miller's address. E. H. Wilson gave 

 some very interesting information re- 

 garding the native lilies of China.
