tain fresh manure. While the flowers 
delight in full sun, the base of the plants 
requires light shade.

trumpet-shaped, white blooms with a 
touch of canary-yellow deep in the 
throat and a shading of lilac-pink on 
the outside. Blooms during late June 
and well into July. Heavily scented. 
One of the most beautiful and easiest 
grown of all Lilies. Seed germinates

the second year, but the best showing is 
made in the third year. 3 to 5 ft.
