The Lily-Bordered Walk 
Among old-fashioned hardy flowering plants 
perhaps none is • a greater favorite or more 
beautiful than Lilium candidum, shown be- 
low. It is popularly known as Madonna 
Lily, Annunciation Lily, White Garden Lily, 
etc. It is especially effective when grown in 
bold masses or in rows bordering back gar- 
den walks, drives, etc., where the brilliancy of 
the snow-white flowers makes its influence 
felt against the greenery of surrounding trees 
and shrubs. This Lily does not like being 
coddled, thriving best where it can remain un- 
disturbed for years in good garden soil. 
A Grandmother’s Garden 
Here we depict a typical old - fashioned country 
garden, such as our grandmothers used to have. The 
ancient house was surrounded by shade trees, the 
old picket fence bordered with dignified Hollyhocks 
and Sunflowers, guarding Live- for -evers. Day Lilies, 
Gilliflowers, Poppies, "Sturtions,” Larkspurs, Snap- 
dragons, and many other favorite posies. The edg- 
ings of Thrift or Sea Pinks, and the Virgin’s Bower 
gracefully wedded to the fence and bushes, add their 
charm to the happy old place.
