Excerpt from Journal of the International Garden Club: 1918 The geographical distribution of Lilies IS peculiar in that they are only to be found in countries north of the equator. The important fact in regard to them is that the majority of Lilies are hardy enduring flowers, much more so than is popularly supposed.
