GkEENER THUMB
By G. MacLeod Ross
Lilies
Judging by the lack of com-
' Iletition in our June timer show
_in the ,, lily class, it might be
thOught that these were un-
popular plants. But several of.
, the more showy ' varieties have
a bloom life measured in days
and further, most lilies are cal-
endar watchers and bloom out
"of season for our June and Aug
ust shows. Planting time is al -
mist upon us and the lily cata-
logues are definttely with us.
In the new varieties prices run
as high as $20.00 per bulb for
a new De Graaf Honeydew, a
distinctive mimosa yellow lily
of the Aurelian strain. Five
feet tall with golden brown sta-
mens. Patrician, by the same
hybridizer, a golden clarion
type clone, growing 4-6 feet
costs $15.00, while all the nev,
auratum speciosums are priced
at $12.00 each. These prices
need not frighten anyone. They
are for bulbs which the special-
ists will /buy. There is plenty
of beauty and recurring inter-
est to be obtained for 75 cents
° to $1.00 a bulb.
The native lilies, for ,examples
offer the graceful meadow lily
Canadense in yellow and red
-
forms for moist well drained
locations. Plant 10 inches deep.
Philadelphicum or orange cup
lily with cup shaped flowers in
searlet_ithsyellovv shades
at thesbase-and purple -spots., it -
likes an acid dry soil. Five
inchei. Superb= or American
Turk's cap lily with orange rod
flowers spotted in purple. Likes
a moist peaty soil. Nine inches.
Pardalinium or Leopard lily has
reflexer flowers of orange red
with dark crimson spots. Moist
'well. drained peaty soil. Shal-
row planting. Parry, a sweet
scented palelemon yellow open
trpmpet. -Loam with gravel sub
soil. Bleoins late in June. Five
inches. Bolanderi or Thimble
lily has bell shaped flowers in
s
deep crimson spotted purple.
Six inches.
When it comes to the hybrids
'one is apt to .become confused
unless the variety 'is illustrated.
There are the Martagons, the
flowersemble a Turk's cap,
which c`air be obtained in such
colors, as pale yellow, almost
ivory, (Achievement); pinkish
bronze (Gay Lights); white, yel-
low, amber and gold (Martagon
Hansonii)- and yellow shaded
Pink (Sutton Court).
Japan furnishes the auratum
and speciosum clones.. These
offer trumpet shaped blooms
which appear in August and
September. If you want an out-
standing bloom, white petals,
;old band down each petal and
maroon spots, try an Auratum
Platyphyllum. One of out mem-
bers, Miss Claire Reynolds, grew
one this year with nine huge
buds and no less than six flow-
ers out at once. Jillian Wallace
too has huge blooms seven in-
ches across and is a rich car-
mine red with white margins.
The Speciosums usually bear
Mord buds than the auratums
but offer a remarkable range of
colors from pure white, blush
pink, crimson red, spine with
and some without -spots.
.If -you . prefer the lemon,
greenish apricot tones then the
Aurelian hybrids offer a good
selection. Most of them are
late blooming — July to Aug-
list. For June flowers, the Ore -1
gon hybrids are most satisfac-
tory. Enchantment, for' example, I
has dbire extraordinarily well in
Goderich. It is a vivid nasturt-
ium red growing about two feet
six inches high with upright
blooms.' For a butter yellow
Prosperity is also, a tine per-
former, While Destiny is a pure
lemon, spotted yellow: These
three all multiply annually are
disease free and cost from $1.00,
to 75 cents apiece.
Of "the Patterson hybrids,
Jasper has been grown success-
fully here. It •has a dusky red
'flower with recurved petals and
grows two feet high.
-Lilies can be obtained to
flower at almost any tine from
June to September. The cul-
ture varies because "soine are
.bas.e....0oting, and; some stem
rooting. The prime essential
for all lilies is good drainage
and planting with sand below
the bulb is a good rot preven-
tive and will usually provide
sufficient drainage in local soil.
In heavy soil it may he neces-
saxy. . to dig out to three-foot
depth, put in a layer of stones
and cover with friable loam.
In general planting shOuld be
1 three times the height 'of the
bulb. but bulb rooting lilies re-

quire shallow planting while
stein rooting need deep. All
lilies like a mulch of peat' or
decayed leaves but manure
should never be used tor this
purpose. Feeding with a liquid
balanced fertilizer is desirable
when the buds appear as lilies
are gross feeders. The supplier
usually gives specific planting,
instructions. Reverting to the
subject, of cost, there is always
seed, which at its most expen-
sive runs 35 cents for 25 seeds.
The. Auratums, Speciosums,
Martagons and Japonicums ger-
minate very slowly, only show-
ing the second sPring, but most
of the others take only 3-6
weeks to sprout.
Flower Show
The second flower show is to
be held at St, George's Parish
Hall on Saturday, August 25th.
There are several door prizes,
including two still unclaimed
from the June show. Doors are
open to the public from 2.30
p.m. and we hope that our
visitors will come and see what
we can grow , in the balmy
Goderich climate. u
