VERY letter, "Amateur Gardners," will be answered — 

 every garden need, every garden problem that confronts 

 you, puzzles you or worries you, write about it and if I 

 can not help you solve it, I will see to it that those who 

 specialize in that particular problem, need or worry of 

 yours will do so. — ^ ^^sii. 



Q — Being disappointed because of the illness of the ledturer 

 we had arranged for to speak before our garden club, the 

 Spring Issue of OUR GARDEN JOURNAL was read in^ead 

 to the members. As chairman of the Lecflure Committee I 

 sugge^ed your magazine being read in lieu of the absent 

 ledturer. Every member, I do believe, ordered St. Bruno lilies, 

 and I am writing to know more about them, as we are eager 

 to learn if there are two species of the St. Bruno lily. Will 

 you be so good as to help us in the matter? 

 A — No, there is but one St. Bruno lily but there is a St. 

 Bernard's lily. The names are so similar that I daresay this 

 has caused the confusion in the minds of some of your members. 

 The specie St. Bernard's lily is Liliago, while the St. Bruno lily 

 is Liliastrum. There is a larger variety of St. Bruno called 

 Giganteum, but it is not to be found in any American nursery 

 that I know of. Both St. Bruno and St. Bruno Giganteum are 

 sometimes called Paradise lilies.
