AUTUMN CATALOGUE, 1912. 

 LILIES FOR FORCING. 



THE bulbs may be potted from Au- 

 gust 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 re- 

 main 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 set- 

 ting 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.
