CHAPTER XIII 



HOW LILIES DO IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF 

 ENGLAND 



The Lilies that do generally well in gardens having 

 been considered in the last chapter are therefore 

 omitted from this ; their cultural requirements are 

 given under their separate names, and also in the 

 chapter referred to ; those also known to do well 

 with certain treatment or in certain natural con- 

 ditions, such as L. giganteum, do not appear here. 

 The tender Indian Lilies, those that are best in green- 

 house treatment, are also excluded, and will be found 

 in their place. In the following the kinds are placed 

 alphabetically : — 



L. BatemannicB. 



Failure in strong loam in Northumberland, in 



the same garden doing well in peat. 

 Well in red loam in South Devon. 

 Well in sandstone and peat in South Devon. 

 The best reports of this Lily come from Devonshire. 

 We therefore assume that it is somewhat tender. 



L. Brownii. 



Fairly well in heavy loam in Cumberland. 

 Well in strong loam in Northumberland.
