46 LILIES FOR ENGLISH GARDENS 



kept for cutting ; the flower stems should be cut 

 out in order to insure a succession of the leaves. 

 These must also be immersed in the tank to prepare 

 them to stand well in water. 



Many of the orange-coloured Lilies are also good 

 in rooms ; croceu-in and tigrinum being among the 

 most useful. They are generally well enough fur- 

 nished with leaves to do without addition, and their 

 fine forms are so best seen ; the stiffness of the 

 laterally directed flower stalks of the Tiger Lily 

 makes it very easy to arrange, one flower support- 

 ing another.
