When writing to advertiser* kindly 

 mention HORTICULTURE' 



to come out of the cellar In the spring 

 a soft, pulpy mass, quite useless for 

 planting. It keeps well enough until 

 March and then goes hy the board un- 

 less given very careful treatment. The 

 collarette and single dahlias make an 

 appeal to flower growers who have 

 never cared for the older types, and I 

 believe that they are going to have a 

 great run of popularity when the va- 

 rieties become more numerous. 



In looking over the little catalog 

 issued by P. H. Horsford, of Charlotte, 

 Vt . I have been interested to note that 

 he gives considerable space to several 

 lilies which are rare and not listed by 

 the average nurseryman. Certainly 

 Mr. Horsford is to be congratulated on 

 having so good a stock of lilies. In 

 the list is L. Wilmottiae. the Chinese 

 lily which was discovered, named and 

 introduced by Ernest H. Wilson. Mr. 

 Wilson discovered it in the Province 

 of Hupeh and was much impressed 

 with it from the first. It was named 

 in honor of Miss Ellen Wilmott, an 

 English amateur of prominence whose 

 name has also been affixed to several 

 other good plants. 



In form the flowers are similar to 

 those of speciosum but are much 

 smaller. The color is apricot yellow 

 spotted with brown, as near as it can 

 be described. In point of fact, no one 

 can get a proper conception of the 

 beautiful shades which this lily has 

 without seeing it. L. Wilmottiae is 

 exceedingly free flowering. Mr. Hors- 

 ford says that as many as twenty-eight 

 blooms have been counted on one stalk 

 at his place. It also has the advan- 

 tage of blooming over a long season, 

 as all the flowers do not open at the 

 same time. 



There seems to be no doubt that this 

 lily is absolutely hardy even in north- 

 ern New England. It has been grown 

 with success by William Anderson, su- 

 perintendent of the Bayard Thayer es- 

 tate at Lancaster, Mass. Indeed, he 

 was the first man to show it in bloom 

 in this country, making an exhibit at 

 Horticultural Hall. Boston, in 1916, on 

 which occasion it was awarded a sil- 

 ver medal by the society. 



Mr. Horsford also has L. Sargentiae, 

 the beautiful lily which Mr. Wilson 

 discovered in Thibet. This is another 

 lily the stock of which is very scarce 

 but which is wonderfully handsome, 

 being taller than the better known 

 Regal lily and having a cluster of flow- 

 ers at the top. The flowers are white 

 with a chocolate shading outside. It's 

 a fine plant but possibly not quite so 

 hardy as L. Wilmottiae. In any event 

 it insists upon having a well drained 

 soil if it is to thrive, being especially 

 impatient of too much moisture in win- 

 ter.
