ELLIOTT NURSERY CO., EVANS CITY, PENNSYLVANIA 
O UR friend, the lawyer, has a garden of Lilies. Many other 
things he has in his garden—great banks of Azaleas that 
are worth a long journey to see. Tulips, Daffodils, and 
Crocuses are everywhere in the spring, and glorious show of 
Japanese Irises in June is a sight not easily to be forgotten— 
but he has Lilies by the hundreds and by the thousand, and in 
so many varieties that from June until November there is ah 
ways a fine display of Lily flowers. Such a garden! By daylight 
it is splendid, by moonlight it is fairyland, and the air is filled 
with fragrance. Such a garden to visit, as we do visit it and 
travel forty miles a dozen times a year, and come away with our 
arms filled with great stalks of Lily blooms. 
For this is a garden in which there are always flowers to cut 
and to spare. It is not the miserable garden of bedding plants 
in which its owner finds it difficult to cut a little nosegay to give 
to a friend. We wish you who are content to grow common- 
place things of so little beauty could visit this garden of Lilies, 
and then say what excuse you have to offer for your poor taste. 
Not that of cost, for Lily bulbs are to be had for as little money 
as bedding plants, and as Lilies are hardy, their first cost 
is their only cost, while bedding plants must be bought every 
season.
