The article explains that lilies such as Lilium Auratum and Speciosum are easier to grow when given deep well drained fertile soil rich in humus. It recommends mixing bone dust into subsoil before planting, mulching with well rotted animal manure, and avoiding direct heat or dryness while ensuring the tops receive sun.
Coffs Harbour exceeded its quota for the 12th Security Loan with £10 340 in hand against a £9 500 target. Dorrigo was £100 short of £3 800, while Bellingen oversubscribed by £60. The district organizer, Mr W F Connolly, visited and predicted further oversubscription as the loan runs until June 12.
The secretary of Coffs Harbour Show Society Mr N J Jordan reports that W Paton and Co fertiliser makers of Sydney donate a trophy worth £10 10s annually for Agricul tural Bureau branch competition. The firm previously funded the Boambee trophy at the recent show and, impressed by Korora and Boambee efforts, will sponsor a similar award each year.
The article advises planting lilies with at least four to five times their depth in soil and applying mulch. It notes dwarf deciduous shrubs let sunshine reach bare winter soil, while cages cool the soil in hot months and still allow sun on stems. Under these conditions lily coloring and keeping qualities improve, especially for cut blooms.
