THE EASTERN LILY.
Beautiful Legend Of Judaean Origin Con-
corning 1t.
There is a beautiful legend of Judeean
origin that after the Saviour rose from
the tomb, the places where he trod were
marked by white lilies, which sprang
up and blossomed in his footsteps: and
this is why white lilies are used to SYM
bolize the resurrection.
What in our country is called 1.-The
Easter lily" comes from Bermuda. The
lilly fields are in bloom there from
February to May. What dazzling
sight must acres of pure white lilies be,
franks on ranks of stately lily stalks"
blooming not only for beauty, but for
use! From these fields we have our bulbs
for the greenhouse or homes.
They accommodate themselves to
varied conditions. If wanted at Christ
mas or Easter time, the bulbs should be
planted from the 1st of September to
the list of December, in five or six-inch
pots. The soil should be three parts
rotted sod and one-fourth we'll rotted
stable manure. Press the bulbs we'll
down in the soil, covering them half an
inch. Give thorough watering and
place in cold frame, under leaves or
hay four or five inches deep. Provide
sash, that the frame may be covered
during rain.
After month bring into the house,
keep the temperature fifty degrees or
sixty degrees at night, and sixty-five
degrees or seventy-five degrees in the
daytime. They can be forced faster by
increasing the heat In very cold eli
mates the potted bulbs can be placed In
the cellar instead of the cold frame:
Do not repot, but add liquid manure if
needed.
When the bulbs are done Towering
let them rest and ripen, by not water
ing them, for about two months; they
will then flower a second time.
The outdoor cultivation is very easy.
They will stand our northern winters,
with deep cover of litter and leaves,
and reward the small care they" need
with a crown of pure white lilies lasting
many days-The Household
