LILIES FOR EASTER. 



Is it possible to get giganteum lilies 

 ill for Easter that are now only coming 

 through the soil in the pots? They are 

 »ot unusually well rooted, but are fairly 

 »vell rooted. If it is possible to have 

 them in for Easter, what treatment 

 should they have from now right along 

 i'Util Easter? How about giganteums 

 that are standing some three or four 

 "Qches high? Will they be in time for 

 '■-•aster? Also the same question in re- 

 gard to Japanese multiflorum lilies, 

 v-hich seem to have been from the Dis- 

 i^nct of Gumma, and were quoted on and 



sold by the bulb merchant as Gumma 

 multiflorum lilies. These lilies were pot- 

 ted up in 5-inch pots December 17. Can 

 they be flowered for Easter? If so, what 

 temperature, treatment, etc., will they 

 require? The other lilies that I have 

 mentioned are in 6-inch pots. 



C. A. D. C. 



Giganteum lilies which are now just 

 showing through the pots will be too late 

 for Easter, which comes on an extra 

 early date this year. Those three to four 

 inches high you may possibly get in sea- 

 son, but even they are a little late. Give 



them a temperature of 65 degrees at 

 night, and as soon as flower buds show, 

 raise this 5 degrees. You cannot expect 

 to flower them without hard forcing. 

 Use the syringe on them freely, and a 

 watering with a weak solution of nitrate 

 of soda will help them along. 



The multiflorum potted so recently as 

 December 17 you cannot possibly flower 

 by Easter. It will be better to keep 

 these and the giganteums just pushing 

 through the pots in a cool house and re- 

 tard them for Memorial day trade. Any 

 flowering earlier you can probably make 

 use of in your retail trade. You should 

 be able to see and count bu^s on all
