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 con- 
siderably deeper in the larger pots. This method prevents the soil from 
becoming sour, and enables the roots forming at the base of the stem to 
riety. 
become feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the blossoms.
