LILIES FOR FORCING. 



If wanted by mall, add 5 cents each for posta|ie> 



"T"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.
