THE HOME GARDENER Practical and Seasonal Hints for the Amateur for Beautifying Surroundings of the Home. ARD LILIES | | BY J. W. WELLINGTON. The lily genus is one that has not | received sufficient consideration by local gardeners, perhaps because these flowers have a widespread reputation for being difficult to grow and partly because prices for bulbs have been re- latively high. Yet here is a flower which has many strong points in its favor, the flowering season is long for the group as a_ whole, many of the llies flower in Midsummer when the garden is relatively short' of bloom, practically all enjoy partial shade and igh sofl acidity, both of which factors are present in local gardens, and as for sheer beauty, there is nothing to compare with the better species. This past week the writer had the pleasure of viewing a fine planting of lilies at the home of A. Julian Bry- lawski, 3509 Reno road. Here, beneath the partial shade of a large oak and tulip tree, the owner has assembled a very large collection of lily specics. Some are very rare and expensive, but as pointed out by Mr. Brylawski, the finest varieties are very often in the low priced group. Take for example River Resort Tomorrow. The first large group of Y. W. C. A Lathes exported the United States last year were valued at $4,000,- lected by the Bicentennial Commission 000. fi:;|§Z;1brings the Climax A Great LOWER PRICE SALE for the LAST DAY!. Our Budget Plan Makes Furniture Buying Easier! the Madonna lily with its pure white petals and golden stamens. A bed of Regal lilies, just commencing to bloom, was highly promising both as to vigor | and prospective beauty and the owner stated that these bulbs cost around $2 a dozen. Parry's lily, of exquisitely clear lemon yellow, was an atiractive flower, but somewhat more expensive 1 purchase and rather difficult to grow. Among the rarer and aursmwl lilies then in bloom were L. Kelloggi, L. Hansonii, L. rubellum and L. tenui- folium Mr. Brylawski raises lilies purely as | a hobby on a plece of land he pur- | chased only a year ago, demonstrating quite fully the development of a lily gsrden need not be a long procedure, A select list of lilies for the home garden, as suggested by Dr. David Grif- | fiths, bulb specialist for the Depart- ment of Agriculture, ineludes lilium pardalinum (hybrids), L. ecandidum (the Madonna lily), L. tigrinum (the tiger lly), L. speciosum (the showy 1ily), L. regale (the Regal lily) and L. Henryri. These have been tested in local gardens and found enduring and worthwhile. Many of the others are worthwhile, but disappear quickly. How- ever, there is quite a fascination in growing difficult things, and gardeners would find the lily genus a particularly satisfactory field of endeavor. | Incidentally it is well to call home gardeners' attention to the fact that | aphids are particularly destructive en- | emies of lilies, destroying the termiral buds so that they do not open at all or imperfectly. Frequent spraying with nicotine sulphate, pyrethrum oil soap or other aphicides is necessary to bring the lilies through in good shape. Species differ greatly in their aphid resistance, the tiger and Regal lilies, for example, being highly resistant to all kinds of insects and rots, Dr, Grif- fiths warns against planting lilies among tulips, as the botrytis rot of the Iatter is serious with lily bulbs, and once in the soil is difficult to combat. | | Now that the roses are through | blooming, it is well to give them atten- tion. The old blooms should be cut out, taking some length of stam. The new flowers on monthly bloomers are borne on new growth and pruning tends | to promote this new wood. The soil | should be cultivated shallowly and bone | meal scattered over the beds. After all; a plant that keeps blooming threugh the Bummer needs more food than one that blossoms but onece. | Climbing rosss are best pruned at this scason to encourage young Canes | for mext year's flowering. In the case of a stout old plant of Dr. Van Fleet, it is well to cut out one or two of the older canes each year. Some rosarians | 87 50 far as to eut off all the old canes | of certain climbers at this season. | ‘Whether this is necessary seems doubt- | ful, but some pruning is essential each | season if the plants are not to become tangles of canes and the flowers in- | ferior. It is rather strange how few yellow climbing roses there are, but, fortu- nately, the Jist is growing. There are Gardenia, Emily Gray and the new Primrose, but most of the yellows fade into a yellowish white as the flowers expand. For many people yellow is & most desirable celor in roses, per- heps as a welcome contra myriad of pinks and reds PERENNIALS | Most every one admires perennial flowers, such as the pyrethrums, hardy pinks, larkspurs, Oriental _poppies columbine and Canterbury bells. Too often, however, the home gardener does not have many perennials, because of the cost of plants. There is really no reason why even the most modest home should not have an ample stock of | these wonderful flowers. That is, seeds planted now will supply fine, large plants for late Autumn seiting. Most of the perennials do not bloom until| the second season and hence one has to plan in advance. One of the surest ways to success is to grow the plants in the coid frame, where they can be shaded in the early stages and watered freely. When ordering perenmials it is well to include some pansy i because the plants for the early crop are handled much like pcrennia The goil in the cold frame should be prepared with sand and leaf and peat moss am 1 nery garden loam yey for tender pecially flower seedings, which are gen- erally very small. Prepared soil yields larger plants with finer root systems that wil stand transplanting much more readily. A small expenditure for seed of hardy perennials can easily form the besis of a fine perennial bor- der or garden and add greatly to the beauty of the home garden | GARDEN NOTES I [ T A R e The common white yarrow is & weed t the pink flowered form now in full \dsome perennial to grow.
