The Fastest Growing Lily on Record.
Captain 8 RB, Vaough of Philadelphia
has a plant that grows at the rate of
nine inches every twenty-four hours.
This remarkable bit of vegetation is
called the “snake lily,” and came from
Cochin, China, When it arrived in
America it was simply an ngly looking
bulb, resembling a huge Indian turnip.
it lay nearly all winter in a dark
closet. but with the approach of spring
began to manifest signs of life. It was
taken from ite resting place and put in
a peach basket, with nothing about it
but some newspapers, Very soon a
mottled green stalk pushed out of the
pull, and in a few days had reached
a height of cight feet, Of this height
the blossom, which was a beautiful
dark maroon color, comprised four feet.
After the blossom had withered and
died the bull was planted, and from it
grew nn nest of great nmbrella-like
leaves, which reached their maturity in
July and August. In September the
lenves perished and left nothing but
a now fat bulb, This was stored away
in a dark place, and again next spring |
the Bulb will be brought to light and
pass through Its time of Sower and
growth,

in China pleces of silk pass as cur
