are so much, as tolerably familiar figures in the 

 home garden stops at five. This despite the 

 fact that there are a score or more of easy 

 species, with numerotis varieties and hybrids. 

 And how many kinds of lilies are frequently 

 seen in the greenhouse? Just one. Here are 

 other glorious opportunities. In short what L. 

 H. Bailey said in 1900 : * ' Dozens of magnificent 

 . lilies are practically imknown" is quite as true 

 to-day — ^more's the pity. 



In the hope of helping to bring the lily into 

 its own here, in both garden and greenhouse, 

 this book has been written.
