LILIES FOR FORCING: 
If wanted by mail, add 5 cents each. 
HE bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost of equal 
parts turfy loam, leaf mold, rotten 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 transferred then to larger pots in which to bloom, exercising great 
care not to disturb the roots or break away the soil from about them, 
and setting them considerably 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 become feeders, greatly increasing the number 
and size of the blossoms.
