GARDEN LILIES 
_ Since the beginning of gardens, Lilies have been prized among the choicest plants. The family is so large, so 
diversified in shape and color of the flowers, so varied in their habit of growth, that truly Lilies may be chosen for 
any situation, and to accommodate any mood of the gardener. 
Unlike the rose which has been the jolly, adaptable companion of men and children since the playtime of the 
world, the Lilies have kept aloof in austere reserve, wrapped in an immutable conservatism that is in itself a 
fascinating thing. 
In these days of hectic color, irregular and broken forms, it is a comfort and a stabilizing influence to turn again 
to the cool and classical beauty of the ancient, unchangeable Lilies, renewing the feeling of faith in the security 
of things that is so necessary to full and perfect living.
