THE LOVELY LILY OF PERU 
Lily of Peru is an old 
name for ALSTROEM- 
4 ERIA, and the flowers do 
indeed rival the Lilies in 
beauty, though they are 
YW, actually neither Lilies nor 
of 
all of them from Peru. 
m They are handsomeplants, 
making great sheafs of 
blossom splendor. The 
roots are brittle, tangled 
tubers that must be kept 
in soil to prevent drying. 
* At our Old Orchard Nurs- 
“, jery we find Alstroemeria 
y4to be quite soundly win- 
ter-hardy. We mulch the 
plantings with straw in 
late autumn, parting this 
fin spring to let the stems 
gam through, but not remov- 
mu ing it. There is nothing 
on the Nursery more dec- 
f orative than the Alstroem- 
erias when they are in 
ya full bloom. In very cold 
\ regions the roots can be 
ot Ya dug in autumn and cel- 
mt MY Saya iar-stored in sand. IIlus-
