RUBRUM LILIES 



"Did you ever plant too many? For the average florist It 

 means .'ust this: He can get along without rubrum Lilies 

 even not miss them. On the other hand, those who once get 

 Into the habit of using them usually And them such a prof- 

 itable and at the same time easily handled crop that they 

 try each year to do all possible to prolong the flowering period 

 which with the help of cold storage bulbs is not hard to do". 

 Every florist with a retail trade should grow rubrum Lilies 

 1 here is nothing finer for decorative work, for the corsage or 

 the floral design. A plant grown in a pot makes a showy 

 plant, and if not sold as such will frequently furnish you with 

 flowers for three weeks from the time the first flower Is ready 

 to bi cut until the last bud begins to open. The further away 

 you are located from the larger cut flower markets, the more 

 valuable are rubrum lollies In your own establishment the 

 more mcessary it Is for you to try and have a few plants to 

 cut from. To plant cold storage bulbs now Into 5-ln. or 6-ln 

 pots is about all the work you will have with them outside 

 of watering. They will grow almost anywhere In or outdoors 

 and bioom in late Summer. Try this for a change: Plant In 

 tJ-in. pota now; let the plants ^ome along In a cool house. 

 About May l;i take them outdoors and plant pot and all In a 

 bed or coldfranie. deep enough to cover the top of the pot 

 aliout 4 in. When In flower use the Individual blossoms or If 

 you plant out leave thom out all Winter. Every plant will 

 lldwor again the next year and better than before."
