In Your Garden: C. H. Middleton

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Lilies are always lovely in a garden, but it is not generally known how many different kinds can be grown. Most old gardens, and many cottage gardens, have a clump or two of the white Madonna lily (lilium candidum), which has been grown in England for three centuries. So, too, has the Turk's cap, or scarlet chalcedonicum, but it is not seen as often. The orange lily (croccum) is commoner. But just as easily grown is the magnificent and highly-scented sacred lily of Japan (lilium auratum). All these, and the Martagon lilies and the regal lilies may be grown out-of-doors. And tonight Mr. C. H. Middleton is to bring Mr. T. Hay, of the Royal Parks, to the microphone to tell listeners all about the cultivation of these lilies that may be planted now, or as soon as the bulbs reach England.
