Il NEW EASTER LILY.
Crossing the Bermuda Flower with a
Philippine Species Is Successful.

If the expectations of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture are realized with
experiments now going on, the price
of Easter Lilies will be much lower
next year. This will enable persons
who have been obliged to deny them
selves the luxury of an Easter Lily, to
purchase this beautiful flower with
out laying themselves open to the
charge OF being eXuavagant. The
high price OF this spring flower is
caused through the long growing
season of the bulb before it bursts in
to bloom. From the time the bulb
of the Bermuda lily is planted until
it is in full bloom Is Il period of five
to seven months. Florists usually
plant the bulbs in September in order
that they may be ready for the com
ing Easter. They have always 5een
studying the flower with a hope of
shortening the time of growing, for,
in greenhouses, time and space are at
Il premium, and any shortening there
of represents decided gain.
The Bureau of Plant Industry OF
the Department of Agriculture early
last year took up this problem and
imported from the Philippines lily
resembling the common Easter lily in
size and color, though it bears usually
only one. but at times two flowers to
the plant. Its chief virtue, however,
lies in the fact that its growing sea-
son is but two to three months. This
lily the department has crossed with
the common Easter lily, and the re-
suit has been Il hybrid, bearing as
many flowers as the old Bermuda lily,
with no difference in appearance from
this plant, except that the hybrid will
develop in four or five months, rep.
