doctor snd his 10year old brother henry u a medical student but the study of cytology can readily switch to medicine or soology hers use cells are basic to all living material a cytologlyt can branch off into the study of gentles which is the science of breeding or direct his energies to such an important field as human cell and their abnormal ties such as c sneer sandy has ben interested in farm

director of medical research in the canadian navy sandy took over the entire running of the farm with assists from his mother snd brother and s hi rod man the next mile stone in his career came when he majored n chemistry he spent two summers wjyklng at the gov ernment central kaperimrnlal farm at ottawa and had a atrokr of luck heii the plant breeder had to go on a trip louklnjf for a sub stitute and having heard that sandy had bij doing some plant breed ittle at home officials put him in chargr of the flowerbreedlug de partment sandy had been work ing as a laborer at sixty cents an hour and still at the same wanes was sent complete with car and chauffeur on his own field exped ition to the icaslem townships to collect native lilies ndy won his ii a in 1052 be kan postgraduate study and joined the botany department staff in charge of the medical lab where he lectures to medical students mean while he la working on a thesis for his 1hd which will deal with as pects of the cell structure of the lilies he was alao granted a re- awmtih fellowship by toronto s sick children s hospital under which he is making a study of pollen grains and mold spores in the uir infor mutlor which is expected lo be useful in the treatment of allergy my interest in botany is in tho pure science he says but 1 be lieve canada has a tremendous rts- pontlblllty to improve the agricul tural standard of economically poor countries in the world and people with the technical know led ar and the ability to pass it on have a responsibility as christiana j believe that agricultural tench ink should be romblrri vlth medlr il mission work because medical aid has to have a foundation in agricul ture sandy s purely scientific inter est in botany is however combined with the creencst of thupibs at the annual show of the north american lily society held last july in ham ilton sandy s specimens won 15 pri zes including two sliver medals and the trophy for best spike in show he won the largest number of points in the show am one exhibi tors from all parts of canada and the u s but we were fortunate in being just a lew miles from ha milton he says it was a big advantage to get our entries there fresh this years show will be held in seattle and he plans to fly a few exhibits to it he is thinking or or ganizing an annual ontario show if he can find enough interested growers in eastern canada san dy s enthusiasm for lily growing and breeding is infectious and he wilt probably round up enough ed icts to justify a show he has del ivered many lectures on lilies il lustrating his talk with dozens of beautiful colour photographs most of them taken by himself on his own arm which adds expert photography to his hat of accom plishments anyone who can grow lilies can breed them and anyone can grow them who gives them what they need a well drained soil not eogy and preferably on a slope and fairly constant moisture which is meat eneured by a mulch mould ar ound the plants it is important that bulbs be firm and healthy preferably with live roots ulies grown from seeds are more likely to be vigorous and free from disease and some will flower during their second season although others take five years or more seeds are also very much cheaper than bulbs a great many ot the best hybrid lilies says sandy havo been raised by backyard gardeners all thats necessary to cross one variety with another is to lift off one of the six stamens of one flower and brush the end of it against the stjcy end of the pistil of the other the pistil of a flower l the central part of the bloom the stamens are wire- like length surrounding k the fertilized pistil canthen be covered with a drinking straw which is fol ded over to prevent contamination from other pollen in the air after fertilization the base of the pistil enlarges to become the seed pod one of the first requisites of illy breeding of course is to be sure you are dealing with lilie t are many flowers with lilylike na- mes which are not lilies at all like lily of the valley the calls tlly he amsizon lily and the day lily oneway to be sure all lilies have six petals two paraut plantav better raauhsara
