40. Lilium auratum {Contimied) 



cover with light soil mixed with peat or leaf mold. Further enrichment 

 can be given from time to time by mulching with well-rotted manure. 

 Will thrive in sun or partial shade, but the ground should always be kept 

 cool and moist, either by shade or by a top dressing of peat or leaf mold. 

 Propagate by offsets, by bulb-scales, removed when ripe, or very 

 slowly by seed.
