FORMOSA LILIES. 



I have j)lanted my Easter lilies and 

 have put them down in a cellar and cov- 

 ered them over with some moss. Is that 

 as good as straw? Before 1 covered them 

 over I gave them a good watering. When 

 I find that they are becoming dry, do I 

 have to remove the moss, or can I just 

 water over the moss? The variety is For- 

 mosa. H. B. 



Better remove the moss in order to see 

 just which pots require watering. Lilies 

 should be kept on the dry side until roots 

 are active around the sides of the pots. 

 An excess of moisture in the early stages 

 of growth is often the cause of roots de- 

 caying and consequent sickly plants. Let 

 them get quite dry before you water. As 

 growths appear remove them to a lighter
