PROPAGATION OF LILIES. 



Ill 



be iu use in Europe, else there would be no necessity of 

 keeping the bulbs of the Japan Lilies at the rates they 

 have been held for the past ten years, as by this method 

 they can be as profitably grown as Tuberoses, Hyacinths, 

 or Tulips, and sold at the same rates. 



The subjoined is a list of Lilies in the collection of an 

 amateur, P. Hanson, Esq., Brooklyn, L. L, who has, per- 

 haps, the largest collection possessed by any one in the 

 United States. The names of only the most striking vari- 

 eties are given, although the collection numbers over 150 

 sorts, if the sub-varieties are included.
