Artikelnummer 10125086

This issue is dedicated to Major and Mrs. W. G. Knox Finlay of Keillour Castle who have created a garden of uncommon beauty in which rare and difficult plants are cultivated with great skill. Mr. Patrick Synge discusses some of the Nomocharis growing at Keillour while Mrs. Dee Simmons describes lilies grown in tubs by Dorothy, Countess of Malmesbury. There are two highly important contributions on the distribution of lily species; that of Dr. W. T. Stearn on European species and that of Mrs. M. V. Baranova of Moscow on species in the U.S.S.R. with distribution maps. Dr. Motou Shimizu writes on Lilies in Japan also with distribution maps, continuing geographically where Mrs. Baranova leaves off. Mr. Jan de Graaff after an interval of ten years again writes on the lilies he raises and distributes from Oregon while Mr. Edward McRae, also of the Oregon Bulb Farms, reports on the Upright Lilies. Prof. Per Wendelbo of Gothenburg and Admiral Paul Furse have contributed a valuable article on how to grow and name the Eremurus of South-West Asia. The lily beetle and lilies in his garden in Holland are discussed by Dr. H. J. Oterdoom. Lily Group Discussions are also included as are reports of Lily Shows. The book contains 6 pages of coloured plates and many black and white illustrations.
