forth a new wonder Saturday morn
ing in the nature of fairy lilies,
known to some as Lycorus These
buds just made their appearance
through the hard baked ground
which has had no water an sunliiiel'
on last Wednesday. Now they are on
majestic stems of two feet in height
Each stalk has seven large lilies sea-
shell pink tipped with blue These
stalks have no leaves and the first
thing which makes its appearance
through the ground is the bud.
These lilies are in bloom at Doctor
Harding's garden on College avenue
at the west end of the middle path.
The public is invited to see them.
