genous to my country are going to find a happy home in new and dis- 
tant lands. These lilies grow wild in the wooded slopes of Shen-si 
near the sea.’ 
“Lilies love the woodland, the dappled sunlight, the shelter of 
ferns, the support and background of the scattered shrubbery, the 
mulch of fallen leaves, the opportunity to stand alone without foil 
other than their own beauty. 
“Most lilies grow naturally in scattered drifts or clumps, some- 
times even singly, with here and there an occasional large colony. And 
they should be planted so, as if they had just happened along the 
brook, the walk, the drive, as if they had danced always in gleaming 
armor through the trees.’’! 
For those of you who have the appropriate setting the following 
lilies are especially suitable for naturalizing: 
L. amabile L. Grayi 
L. amabile luteum L. Martagon album 
L. auratum L. Maxwill 
L. Backhouse hybrids L. pardalinum
