LI'UUM CA'NDIDUM. Common Whito 

 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-decomposed 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 advisa- 

 ble 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 rea- 

 son for planting immediately is because 

 these bulbs will not bear exposure to the 

 air without injury. By this treatment 

 they will flower well the next season, but 

 much finer the second. 



Insects. The most troublesome are
