From the cultivator's point of view 

 all the Liliums mentioned above may 

 be divided into three main groups so 

 far as the soil is concerned. Those 

 marked with an asterisk (*) may be 

 looked upon as perfectly hardy in 

 most parts of the United Kingdom, 

 and as plants that will flourish in 

 any good garden soil so long as it 

 has been deeply dug or trenched, and 

 enriched with a fair amount of well- 

 rotted manure. If the soil should be 

 naturally of rich loamy character 

 with a certain amount of grit in it, 

 so much the better. 



The kinds marked with a dagger 

 (t) are somewhat more fastidious, and 

 yet they are excellent plants for the 

 open air. The soil in which they are 

 most likely to grow well should 

 consist of sandy loam, peat, and 

 leaf-soil in about equal proportions, 

 and should be of course well drained. 



The Liliums marked M are also 

 fine garden plants but require special 

 situations, either prepared or natural,
