LILIES FOR FORCING 



The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost of equal 

 parts tufty loam, leaf mold, rotted cow manure, and sand. It is best to 

 start them in pots not exceeding twice their own diameter, in which they 

 may remain until started eight inches or more. They should be trans- 

 ferred then to larger pots in which to bloom, exercising great care not to 

 disturb the roots or break the soil from about them, and setting them 

 considerably deeper in the larger pots. This method prevents the soil 

 from becoming sour, and eanbles the roots forming at the base of the 

 stem to become feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the 

 blossoms.
