92 LILIES 



Fairly hardy in England. More reliable 

 than L. japonicum, but bulbs likely to disap- 

 pear. Easily renewed by seed. Vegetable soil 

 and loam, preferably light and sandy, are the 

 best for it. It has, however, thrived in poor 

 and rather dry, stony soil under deciduous 

 shrubs. Sometimes it has been found benefi- 

 cial to place rubble around the bulb to prevent 

 direct contact with the soil. This lily re- 

 quires partial shade and is fine in thin wood- 

 land or among low shrubs. In deep shade the 

 bloom will be a lighter color.
