Regal Lily From Thibetan Fastness
Spreads Quickly to Worlds
Gardens

Since the regal lily was introduced
into the gardens Of America, IS
years ago, 1t has increased from 6000
to at least 100000. There is hardly
a state where II has not been made
at home. It is largely responsible
for the present widespread revival
Of interest in lilies. and is being
grown just as successfully In Europe
as in America.
Ernest H. Wilson, keeper of the
Arnold Arboretum In Jamaica Plain,
Mass. and commonly known as
Chinese" Wilson, discovered the regal
lily. He sent few bulbs back to
England, where they were grown for q
year or two. but soon disappeared.
Then. In 1910, Mr.. Wilson made an
other trip to China and determined to
seek out the regal lily again lii its rocky
fastness close to the Tibetan border.
After an exceedingly adventurous ex-
petition, he came upon a valley con-
tanning multitudes OF these flowers and
eventually returned to the United
States with 5000 bulbs which were
planted in great field in Roslindale,
near Boston.
Mr.. Wilson established o home near
Boston few years ago, and in little
garden just back Of the house he
planted $50 bulbs of the regal lily.
These bulbs have developed with
amazing vigor, producing huge, fra
grant flowers. One plant in Mr.. Will
sons garden this year has 81 flowers,
and q dozen others have almost as
many blooms.
The only rival of the regal lily is
the auratum lily, many of which are
sent to this country and to Europe
every year from Japan. The autumn
lily. however, is capricious. 1t will
make q fine display one year and then
disappear altogether. The regal lily
blossoms year after year with in
creasing freedom, extends itself in
the garden and grows readily from
seed 1t needs only sunny, open
place, somewhat sandy soil and the
absence Of stable fertilizers.
Once the bulbs were expensive, but
they have become cheap enough now
SO that they can be grown in gardens
everywhere. which helps to account,
no doubt, for It's rapid spread from
coast to coast Christian Science
Monitor.
