Trumpet Lily.
A Garden Corner.
’y'ERY FEW FLOWERS surpass the chaste beauty of this fine Christmas-flowering lily. It is taking the place of the old Christmas favourite, L. candidum, because it is a purer white and such a good doer, and not subject to the disease affecting the old Madonna lily. As a market variety it rivals L. regale in hardiness and freedom of flowering, qualities which commend themselves to the market grower. Known as Lilium longiflorum giganteum, this lily has superseded the old Bermuda form, L. Harrisi, because of its superior merits. It grows two to three feet high, and sends up robust stems carrying up to a dozen magnificent pure white trumpet-shaped blooms, if given the cool, shaded position all lilies prefer. T. D. LENNIE.
