Closely connected with the increase in observances of Easter is the wide use of the Easter Lily as the principal church decoration. It took an imported flower, however, to promote widespread growth of the custom. Suitable lilies in the United States bloom in the early summer and must, therefore, be forced under hothouse conditions to flower earlier. But in the 1880's Mrs. Thomas P. Sargent became aquatinted with the Bermuda, or white trumpet, lily, a flower of great beauty which bloomed naturally in springtime. She brought its bulbs from Bermuda to Philadelphia where a nurseryman fostered its popularity among other florists.
