HIS group of plants is one of the most indispensable for showy effects, particularly 
the Trilliums and Liliums. The former blossom in earliest spring, and 
delight in rich, moist, shady locations, while the latter thrive in the more open 
places and produce most gorgeous results in summer when planted in masses, as 
nearly all plants should be for best effects'. Lilies require rich soil, with plenty of 
moisture, but well drained, and make a grand show planted among Rhodo¬ 
dendrons or other shrub evergreens or in a deciduous shrub border. Elaine 
Goodale has sung of Lilium superbum, the splendid "Turk’s Cap Lily,” 
"Tall rows of blinding beauty, as Vestals pure they hold 
In each a blaze of scarlet, half blottediout with gold ” 
The sizes following the names indicate the variation in heights attained
