LILIES FOR FALL CUTTING. 



We want to grow some Lilium 

 speciosum for next fall and until spring 

 cutting. Would it be best to grow cold 

 storage stock for fall bloomig and 

 use the imported for later use? Also 

 give us method of growing them. Can 

 the candidum or Annunciation lily be 

 grown the same way? J. H. J. 



Lilium speciosum, if wanted for 

 blooming in August or September out- 

 doors, should be planted as soon as the 

 ground is open in the spring. Cover the 

 bulbs eight inches deep. If needed for 

 winter and early spring flowering it 

 would be necessary to secure bulbs from 

 cold storage and pot during the summer 

 or early fall. This lily is now obtain- 

 able in the Covent Garden market, Lon- 

 don, England, the year round as is L. 

 aura turn. It must be remembered that 

 L. speciosum cannot be forced in the 

 same way, however, as L. Harrisii. It 

 prefers cooler treatment, which also suits 

 L. candidum. L. candidum for spring 

 flowering requires to be potted about 

 the end of August, as soon as the bulbs 

 are matured and ere they start to pro- 

 duce leaves, which it does very quickly 

 after potting. After potting keep out- 

 doors until well frozen; then place in a 

 cold frame or pot. 



Our plants for Easter blooming have 

 been housed about three weeks and are 

 just commencing to push their spikes. A 

 night temperature of 50 degrees is high 

 enough to start this beautiful lily in; 

 never let it exceed 55 degrees. For later 

 flowering, say for Memorial day, plants 

 should be kept frozen in a cold frame 

 until March 1. Do not be afraid to 

 freeze them well; half the success in 

 their culture depends on it.

IN FREEZING WEATHER. 



Although it is advisable under ordi- 

 nary circumstances to discontinue cement 

 work in freezing weather, Portland 

 cement may be used without serious diffi- 

 culty by taking a few simple precau- 

 tions. As little water as possible should 

 be used in mixing, to hasten the setting 

 of the cement. To prevent freezing, 

 hot water is frequently used in mixing 

 mortar or concrete, and with the same 

 object in view salt is added in amounts 

 depending upon the degree of cold. A 

 common practice is to add one pound 

 of salt to eighteen gallons of water, 

 with the addition of one ounce of salt 

 for each degree below 32 degrees. 

 Either of the above methods will give 

 good results, but it should be remem- 

 bered that the addition of salt often pro- 

 duces efflorescence. It seems to be a 

 fairly well-established fact that con- 

 crete deposited in freezing weather will 

 ultimately develop full strength, show- 

 ing no injury due to the low tempera- 

 ture.
