OUTDOOR CULTURE: Soil, ordinary, enriched with decayed 
manure, for L. bulbiferum, L. candidum, L. chalcedonicum, L. croceum 
& L. testaceum; rich loam for L. auratum, L. martagon, L. monadel- 
hum, L. pomponum, L. tenuifolium, L. tigrinum, & L. pyrenaicum ; 
oam, peat, and leaf-mould for L. Browni, L. giganteum, & L. dauri- 
cum, L, Hansoni, L. longiflorum, L. Parryi, L. pardalinum, L. specio- 
sum, L. superbum, L. Leichtlini. Peat, leaf-mould, & sand for L, cana- 
dense, L. concolor, L. Humboldti, L. washingtonianum. Position, shady 
beds or borders for L. Browni, L. canadense, L- Hansoni, L. pardalinum, 
L. auratum, L. concolor, L. polyphyllum, L. superbum, L, washing- 
tonianum, L. Leichtlini; others in sun or shade. Plant, Oct. to March, 
in groups of 3, 6, or 12 bulbs. Plant stem-rooting lilies like auratum, 
Batemannia, Brownii, croceum, Dalhousoni, elegans, Hansoni, 
Henryi, Krameri, longiflorum, nepalense, speciosum, & tigrinum 6 in. 
deep & Gin. apart; L. giganteum only just beneath the surface; all 
others 4in, deep & 6in. apart. Place a handful of silver sand under 
each bulb and a little around it. 
Sprciran Beps: Remove soil to depth of 18in, and circumference 
of 12in. for 3 bulbs, 24in. for 6 bulbs, 3 ft. for 12 bulbs. Place 6in. 
of cow manure in bottom and compost on this. In case of heavy, wet 
subsoils, allow surface of bed to rise 4 in. above ordinary level. Mulch 
with decayed cow manure in April, first removing few inches of surface 
soil. Protect choice kinds during winter with covering of cinder ashes 
or strawy manure. Cut down flower stems when leaves turn yellow. 
Water in very dry weather. Apply liquid manure once or twice weekly 
when plants are in flower. 
TREATMENT oF ImPoRTED ButBs: Remove injured scales & sur- 
round bulbs with thin layer of cocoanut-fibre refuse in shallow box 
in cool position until latter become plump, then plant out. Transplant 
L. candidum in Aug. or Sept.; others in Oct. or Nov. Lilies should 
only be transplanted when unhealthy. 
POT CULTURE: Compost, equal parts loam, peat, leaf-mould, de- 
cayed manure, & sand. Pot, Sept- to March, placing one bulb of L. 
auratum, L. speciosum, or L, Harrisi, in a 5 or 6in. pot, or three in an 
8 or 10iu. pot; and three of L. longiflorum, L. philippense, or L. neil- 
gherense, in a 6 or 8 in, pot. Put 4 drainage, then half-fill with com- 
post, place bulbs thereon, & cover with 4 in. of compost. . After potting, 
place pots in cold frame, greenhouse, or shed, & cover with 2in. of 
cinder ashes or cocoanut-fibre refuse. Allow them to remain thus till 
growth begins, then remove to light airy part of greenhouse or to a 
window or cool room till they flower, or until June, then stand outdoors. 
Water moderately when growth begins; freely when in full growth. 
Top-dress with compost of, equal parts loam, leaf-mould, & decayed 
manure when shoots are 3 in. high, filling pots to within 4 in. of rim.
