l)ecn studied long enough to determine 

 their relative qualities. This will take 

 time. 



The season at wliich distinctions in 

 vegetative characters are most notice- 

 able is that just preceding the forma- 

 tion of flower buds, strange as it may 

 seem, but there are many characters 

 which are quite pronounced even in the 

 rosette stage. Selections can profitably 

 be made before the buds show, and a 

 reselection after the flowers open. It 

 will probably be worth while also to 

 make selections based on bulb charac- 

 teristics. 



Whether the early-flowered seedlings 

 perpetuate the characteristic of early 

 flowering in the vegetative progeny is 

 not known. Some plants start into 

 new growth early, i. e., the new crowns 

 for the next year begin to grow even 

 before the first flowers have faded. 

 Fortunately, the percentage of these is 

 small, and they probably should be elim- 

 inated. The desirable bulb is one that 

 forms a large, promising crown for next 

 year's performance which remains dor- 

 mant during autumn if not disturbed. 



Another a.spect of the subject is the 

 desirability of producing uniformity in 

 seedlings, a much more difficult matter 

 than to produce it in the vegetatively 

 propagated progenies selected from 

 these seedlings. This also is being at- 

 tempted. 



Easter Lilies in Beds and Borders. 



Xo lily is more satisfactory for beds 

 and borders than the Easter lily. It is 

 also well adapted in our middle lati- 

 tudes for permanent plantings. In spite 

 of what has already been said about 

 the necessity of making plantings so 

 late that no top growth will take place,
