he is distributing dozens of bulbs
among his neighbors. The lily family
multiplies Itself fairly rapidly from
bulbs, he rays. More rapid progress
can be made with seeds, but the
plants will not run true to form.
First Ismano IJly Grower.
Mr. Pierce was the original Wash
ington grower of the ismane lily or
Peruvian daffodil, a native South
American flower, which rapidly is
making a place for itself in American
gardens. It bears a white flower with
green stripes and with a very delicate
perfume. It is not a true lily, but is
a closer relative to the daffodil.
Pierce is obtaining a considerable
collection of the half-lilies which
flourished in old-fashioned gardens,
but which since have been greatly
depleted. He hopes to do something
to restore them to popularity. These
include such flowers as the lily of the
valley, the fairy Illy and the day lily.
The best results for Washington
gardeners. Pierce believes, probably
can be obtained from such varieties
as the white Madonna lily and the
Easter lily, which not only yield large
blossoms of fine quality, but are fairly
hardy. Comparatively little cultiva
tion, he believes, will produce for the
amateur a glorious succession of
bloom in early Summer from these
types. The one feature of their <;ul
tlvation which must be watched very
closely is the type of soil to which
they are suited. Some thrive in acid
soil while others would die very
quickly in such surroundings. Some
insist on very damp surroundings,
while others thrive best with little
water.

service, saying that the vessel "must
henceforth be considered lost” and ex
pressing the profound grief of the na
tion. He called upon the men at
tached to the submarine service to con
tinue to fulfill their mission with stout
hearts.
The ministry of marine’also issued
official notification that the submarine
is lost. The ministry said that the as
sumption of the searchers is that the
Sebastiano Venlero lies 270 feet under
water on a rocky bottom near the
place where it intended to stand by
during the maneuvers, and also that
since the pressure of the water was so
great as to crush the vessel, death
overtook the crew immediately.
