MIDSUMMER CATALOGUE, 1912. 
LILIES FOR FORCING. 
The bulbs may be potted from August onward in a compost 
of equal parts turfy 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 transferred 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 enables the roots forming at the base of the stem to be- 
come feeders, greatly increasing the number and size of the blossoms. 
Ij Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each for postage.
