21 PARADISEA LILIASTRUM 
A transliteration of the name would be Star Lily of 
Paradise, but mostly it is called Paradise Lily. It is only 
the first year of blooming that the blossoms are notably 
of star form. Even then it is a mighty pretty thing, but 
in after years, when the plants have reached greater size, 
and have more fully established themselves, it passes from 
simple prettiness to sheer beauty. Then the fiowers become 
trumpets rather than stars. Madonna Lilies in miniature, 
cast in snowy wax, a whiteness of quite unrivalled purity. 
It is long in bloom. May into July, and will fit rock garden 
or border. For particular delight, plant it to mingle with 
the blue spires of Adenophora. 25 inches. Full hardiness. 
Sow outside in latest autumn or earliest spring. Illustrated, 
page 65. Pkt. 15c. (Plants, each 25c; 3 for 70c.)
