#lur Garden Lilies. — A very significant 
w query was put to us the other day 
concerning Lilies, and it is one to which it 
is very difficult to furnish a satisfactory 
reply. The question was—“ How is it 
that we seldom see permanent clumps of 
Lilies, even of the hardiest varieties, now, 
whilst some years since they were com¬ 
mon?” To that question we take it the 
general reply will be that, in common with 
so many other hardy plants, Lilies have 
become amenable to some form of debility 
or fungoid diseases, and that so far these 
prove to be more potent in destruction 
than care and cultivation are restorative. 
It seems to be but a few years since that 
Lilium candidum, our hardiest of Lilies, 
was found universally in gardens, and in 
robust health. Now, whilst there are still 
plenty of this Lily, it is rare to find it in 
health, but most commonly devoid of 
foliage, suffering from a fungus. The next 
most plentiful of Lilies in gardens were, or 
perhaps still are, Thunbergianum and 
croceum, and these are perhaps less than 
any others affected by disease. Still their 
years may be numbered. The old and 
beautiful Martagon Lilies now are too 
rarely found, and as for Lilium auratum, 
which for some years after its introduction 
did so well in gardens, it now too often dis¬ 
appears after its first blooming, leaving 
only a label to mark its grave. Where, 
too, are the lovely speciosum Lilies, cer¬ 
tainly never of the hardiest, but still at 
one time much grown in pots and con-
