 LI'LIUM CA'NDmUM. Common White Lily. 

 Propagation. By offsets. When the old bulbs have 

 several small ones formed around them, take them up in 

 September, divide them into single bulbs, replant the 

 large flowering-bulbs immediately into fresh, rich earth, 

 where they are to flower. The small bulbs plant in a 

 bed of the same kind of soil, in some corner by themselves ; 

 let them remain here for two years, then take them up, 

 select the large bulbs, and plant them where they are to 

 flower, taking care to enrich the earth with well- decom- 

 posed manure. The small ones may be replanted again 

 till they are the same size, and should then be taken up 

 and planted in the borders to bloom. 



The Soil should be well drained, and fresh, maiden 

 loam, made rich with a good coating of manure, and 

 dug over two or three times previously to the planting 

 season. 



Winter Culture. When the stools of bulbs have become 

 large, they will have exhausted the soil, and it will be 

 advisable to take them up, divide them, then dig holes, 

 taking away the old exhausted soil, and put at the 

 bottom of each hole a shovelful of rotten dung ; fill up 

 with fresh earth, and plant immediately three strong 

 bulbs in each hole, covering them about three inches deep. 

 The best time to do this is in September, and the reason 

 for planting immediately is because these bulbs will not 

 bear exposure to the air without injury. By this treat- 

 ment they will flower well the next season, but much 

 finer the second. 



Insects. The most troublesome are the WIREWORM 

 and the common GARDEN-SLUG, which see. Whenever 

 a leaf is observed to droop, the grub will be found to be 

 the cause. Gently remove the earth near the drooping 

 leaf, and the enemy will be discovered at work. 



Diseases. The canker sometimes attacks the bulbs. 

 This disease arises from too much moisture in the soil. 

 This must be corrected by draining. All cankered bulbs 

 should be taken up and thrown away, to prevent the 

 contagion from becoming general. L. ca'ndidum is often 

 attacked and greatly destroyed by the Botrytis form of a 

 Sclerotinia. No real cure has been found. 



LI'LIUM MA'RTAGON. Martagon, or Turk's-cap Lily. 

 The propagation of all the varieties of this species is the 

 same as described above for L. ca'ndidum. The soil, 

 however, should be liberally mixed with sand. Some 

 species, such as L. co'ncolor and L. supe'rbum, require a 

 considerable quantity of sandy peat mixed amongst 

 the soil. 



LI'LIUM TIGRI'NUM, Tiger Lily ; and L. BULBI'- 



FERUM, the Orange Lily, produce at the axils of the 

 leaves of the flower-stem a considerable number of small 

 embryo bulbs. These afford a ready way of propagating 

 them. Gather the bulbs as soon as they part readily 

 from the stem ; prepare a bed for them, by digging it 

 over, and adding some well-rotted dung. Plant them 

 in rows across the bed at three inches apart in the row,
