LILIES FOR EASTER. 



I would like to ask what is consid- 

 ered the best way to hold back Japan 

 longiflorums for Easter and when is it 

 safe to put them into 65 degrees at night 

 and full light and 75 degrees in the 

 daytime? Will freezing hurt them be- 

 fore the top has started? Would a cool, 

 dark cellar do? Subscriber. 



Japan longiflorums do not usually want 

 much holding when Easter is in early 

 April and we have received the Japan 

 bulbs in good time. We have for sev- 

 eral years past had no trouble in getting 

 them into flower in time, but ten years 

 ago, although the flowers were fine, the 

 plants were too dwarf. We did not 

 blame the firm that supplied the bulbs, 

 for we believe we put the bulbs into 

 heat too soon, that is, before they had 

 made good roots. The Japan seems to 

 <liffer from the Bermuda lilies in this 

 respect. Our experience and that of 

 a very successful grower of these Japan 

 bulbs, is that if they are well rooted by 

 the middle of December and have made 

 lut little top growth you will have no 

 trouble in forcing them into flower in 

 fourteen weeks in a night temperature 

 l)eginning at 55 degrees and increasing 

 to 65 and 70 degrees. 



Heat, however, is the important point 

 that no arbitrary figures can be given 

 about. To answer the questions definite- 

 ly and to help those who may have little 

 t'xperience I would say leave them in a 

 ♦•old frame until the middle of December. 

 Protect by banking the frame and use 

 double sash to prevent severe freezing. 

 A few degrees of frost will do no harm. 

 Don't think of the dark cellar. The 

 frame is the place for them. If you can 't 

 leave them out as long as the middle of 

 I>ecember, then a very cool house will 

 do until Christmas and after that, if 

 well rooted, force briskly. No fear of 

 your being too early. Remember that 

 after a lily bud begins to turn from 

 green to white the plant can then be 

 removed to a very cool house and the 

 bods will open slowly and last a long 

 while after they are open. W. S.
