Many Varieties of Lilies.
Mr. York then explained some of the
varieties of Easter lilies and where
grown. Several years ago nearly all
the lilies sold here were grown from
bulbs brought from the Bermudas bur
the Bermudan growers spoiled their
own business by digging the bulbs be-
fore they were ripened, making them
unsatisfactory producers. This Ber-
muda lily is what is known to the
trade as the Lillium Harrisii Ameri-
can growers sought another variety
OF bulb TO replace this one and found
the Lillium Giganteum, called Gigs"
by the florists, but i'm the last few
years the Formosa bulb has become
very popular. probably because of its
freedom from disease and the more
substantial qualities OF the bloom it
produces.
When the tops of the Easter lily
have died down, the bulb may be set
out in the yard and in few months
may produce another blossom, al
though IL will be much smaller than
the original. The bulbs can never be
forced again and the florist must i'm
port a new stock each year. Other
bulb flowers are also popular at Eas-
terrible. among them being the tulips,
hyacinths. daffodils, and lilies of the
valley. The bulbs that produce these
flowers are brought mostly from Hol-
land and France. Violets are always
popular at this season, as
milady must always have her bunch to
wear to church on Easter morning.

First BRASS Band.

A little more than 20 years ago
there was no such thing as brass
band in existence. The very first
band entirely of brass dates no fur
Their back than 1885. Prior to that
time even the military music was pro.
duced almost entirely from instru.
ments of wood, and as recently as 1873
full regimental band consisted of
TWO oboes, two clarinets, two horns
and bassoons.
