experiments fully forty of the best known lillies of the world were 
used and many hundreds of thousands of seedlings grown and flowered. 
While this experiment utterly failed to cross the Japanese lilies with 
those of the new world or each other, it was wonderfully successful

others worthy of perpetuation were put in my care for further selection 
and propagation and in my garden at Lyons Valley and later at my 
new place THE TERRACES have done well. Propagation from scales 
is howe.er a slow process and it will lie long before some ol the stocks
