- TEES: 
The increased production of many 
varieties of these in Japan has greatly 
reduced their cost, and in consequence 
their use has now become very general. 
It is our opinion that we should plant 
the bulbs much deeper than we have 
done heretofore. Whiie travelling in 
Japan recently, we found that the 
bulbs of the wild Lilies were usually 
twelve to eighteen inches below the sur- 
face, and we gathered the finest flowers . 
from specimens growing on mountains 
of decaying lava where they had abund- 
ant rainfallend ample drainage. We be- 
lieve that varieties like Auratum and Sfec- 
zosum would be favored by being set ten 
or twelve inches deep and would be less. 
affected by frost and drought. The beds 
should be thoroughly covered with 
leaves or litter during winter.
