ris secured one bulb of the genuine 

 simon-pure stock from a careful gar- 

 dener to whom he had sold this variety 

 when at the zenith of its fame. This 

 bulb in such hands must have produced 

 something in these four years, hence 

 the question. Mr. Harris smiled 

 thoughtfully and led the way to a 

 barred greenhouse door that gave the 

 manly physique of Mr. Shoch a close 

 squeeze before admitting him. Once 

 within the house and the door closed 

 to the curious throng without, Mr. Har- 

 ris led the way to the extreme end, 

 where there was a noble group of the 

 true Lilium Harrisii grown from bulbs 

 of walnut size. These lilies showed 

 their pyramidal form and handsome 

 flowers to advantage. "This is my 

 hobby," Mr. Harris said, "a toy that 

 gives me pleasure. You know I helped 

 my father care for this lily when a 

 child; it has associations. My toy is 

 proving profitable, too. These lilies are 

 all sold as cut blooms to one man; no 

 one knows where they go. ' ' It oc- 



curred to me this was strikingly true. 

 "I shall keep the bulbs and have per- 

 haps an exclusive strain of rare merit." 

 You may think that to write a para- 

 graph just on a lily with such a wealth 

 of material about you is iraprovidently 

 wasteful. Yet remember, kind friend, 

 that this was a holiday; the joyous 

 laughter of children, inquiries of flower 

 lovers, the throng everywhere, is the 

 excuse. The jam was so great that 

 when the time was up, leaving would 

 have been a slow matter were it not 

 for the courtesy and key of Edward 

 I.inwood. 



Easter at Moorestown. 



Vivsitors to the Floracroft Green- 

 houses of Walter P. Stokes have been 

 rewarded by a really magnificent sight. 

 One large King house is entirely filled 

 with specimen hydrangeas, many of 

 them in tubs — all unstaked. Just think 

 of it, a house of big hydrangeas, a sea 

 of pink and nary a stake! Is not that 

 a feather in the cap of Edward Ross? 



Lilies, too, are well done — taller than 

 last year. And valley — yes, 75,000 of 

 it; the kind of valley that makes Mr. 

 Stokes wonder what brand to select to 

 impress on all the fact that Floracroft 

 valley is the standard. Why not call 

 it I'loracroft?
