LILIES FOR FORCING. 



Tlic 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. 

 // Lilies are wanted by mail, add 5 cents each for postage.
