LILIUM 
Lilies are without doubt among the most beau¬ 
tiful of the summer flowers. They would be culti¬ 
vated more generally but for the notion they are 
hard to grow. Some of the rarer species are, it 
is true, but unless one goes in for Lilies to the 
extent of making a hobby of them, these can all 
be left to the collector and there will be quite 
enough species remaining to keep the .garden well
