Notes from a Maryland Garden 
One of the most peculiar of bulbs is 
now in bloom. This is the Nvrine or 
Guernsey lily. A stalk nearly 2 fl. long 
rises from the ground, bearing a cluster 
of salmon pink flowers, with long, pro¬ 
truding stamens. No foliage shows, for 
the flower scape rises from the bare 
ground. After the flowers fade, the 
leaves soon begin to grow, long, green, 
branching from the ground, each leaf 
with a light colored stripe down the cen¬ 
ter. Those leaves keep green all Winter 
and well into June. The resting stage is 
from late June till September. How far 
north these bulbs are hardy I do not 
know, but as they were not hurt in the 
terrible Y\ inter of 1917-18, when the soil 
here froze deeper than I have ever known 
it, freezing the water pipes in the streets, 
I assume that they are pretty hardy. 
The main difficulty is to get them in 
their dormant season, for if planted m 
Fall nr Spring, it takes several years for 
them to recover and get in shape to
