“All still and Lily-scented, 
The garden seemed to say: 
‘Oh, weary one, come, enter 
And cast your cares away. 
For tall and white the Lilies 
Like guardian angels stood, 
To ward away the evil 
And encompass the good. 
To turn away thoughts world-wise, 
To want and see and hear 
The God-like, silent message 
Of things that bless and cheer.”

REGALE. (The Regal or Royal Lily) One of the most 
beautiful, and one of the hardiest Lilies in cultivation, 
Lilium Regale is truly a royal Lily, worthy of a place in 
every garden; it is a lover of loam and sunshine. A vigor- 
ous grower with sturdy stems, 4 to 6 feet high, densely 
covered with long, linear-lanceolate foliage. Center of 
flower flushed with yellow, shading to white at the outer 
edges; externally the flowers are streaked with brown on 
the “ribs,” shaded through the almost translucent petals 
with a delightful pearly tint; the contrast between the rich 
wine color of the reverse of the petals and the gold shading 
of the throat is extraordinarily beautiful. 
The Regal Lily is very floriferous and, when thoroughly 
established, bears as high as eighteen and twenty flowers 
during the season. Like most other Lilies, it should be 
planted deep—at least 9 inches, should have good drain- 
age, and when growing should be watered copiously with 
liquid manure as they are gross feeders. They succeed in 
any good rich garden soil. 
In the herbaceous border, planted in clumps of five to 
twenty-five bulbs, they are especially attractive among the 
Delphiniums and other July-flowering perennials. Where 
these magnificent Lilies are planted in quantity, the air in 
the cool of the morning and in the evening is laden with 
a delightful perfume, exhaled from every blossom. See 
color illustration, page 29.
