Mrs. Tillotson: I have one blossom that seemed to take such a long time to get above the ground I wondered what was the matter with it.
Mr. Hawkins: Mrs. Gould, can you give us any enlightenment?
Mrs. Gould: I never raised them, I got some bulbs this year. I know you have to take them up in the winter and store them like gladiolus, and they do not require very heavy soil.
Mrs. Countryman: Will yucca filamentosa ever blossom in a garden in St. Paul?
Mrs. Sawyer: It will, but it doesn't always. It does blossom in Minnesota, but I know that people have a great deal of difficulty getting blossoms.
Mrs. Countryman: I have five plants growing four years and have never seen a blossom yet.
Mr. Hawkins: I have had two growing three years, and I never have seen the color of a blossom yet.
A Member: What kind is that?
Mr. Hawkins: It is the yucca filamentosa. It is an evergreen. It should throw up a tall stalk with large branches and plenty of white flowers, I think hundreds of flowers—that is the description. It is a beautiful thing in the garden anyway.
Mrs. Countryman: I have seen them in blossom in California.
