New Lily Book 
Big Garden Aid 
A noteworthy addition to the litera- 
ture on lilies is the newly published 
‘Reference Chart of Lilies for Garden 
and Greenhouse” by Edgar L. Kline, lily 
grower of Lake Grove, Or. In easily ac- 
cessible form, this gives needed informa- 
tion about 224 species and varieties of 
lilies. The information is compiled from 
experience under northwest conditions, 
and includes correct name, origin, ap- 
proximate flowering date, flower type 
and size with illustrations of the various 
types, color, height, planting instruc- 
tions, preferred exposure, fragrance 
adaptability to greenhouse culture and 
directions for growing from seed. 
The chart comes in convenient booklet 
form, but can be readily separated into 
sheets and mounted as a continuous wall 
chart for greenhousemen, bulb dealers 
or instruction classes. 
It would be hard to find a more com- 
plete or easily consulted compendium of 
practical lily information in brief form. 
Amateurs will find it a guide to choice of 
varieties suited to their own garden con- 
ditions, and will doubtless be led on by 
it into the exciting adventure of lily 
growing. The chart is priced at $1.00.
