Consider the Lilies
August is the month of lilies and a
number of Monmouth gardens have
attractive beds of these fragrant
blossoms. Many people have enjoy­
ed watching the fine specimens of
auratum lilies unfold and bloom in
Mrs. Dornsife’s garden on Main Street
Last week a committee of ladies
from the Civic Club, who are consid­
ering a plan for a general flower
show, visited the lily beds at the home
of Mrs. J. B. V. Butlar. No larger
planting of one variety will likely bo
found in Oregon outside of Portland
for in three places there were nearly
a hundred stalks of the lily speciosum
rubrum, magnificent with their lovely
curved petals and rich crimson spots.
Nearby was a good start of the lily
speciosum album, pure white, and of
the speciosum henryii, or yellow var
iety. Large beds of the tiger lily,
the St. Joseph and of the native
Oregon field lily had been in bloom
earlier. Mrs. Butler is planning to
enlarge her plantings with other v ar­
ieties of this wonderful flower.
