LILIES. 



No class of Bulbous plants supercedes the Lilies in stately decorative effect, elegance of 

 form, richness of color and fragrance combined. The amateur, commercial florist and land- 

 scape gardener employ them more and more each year; their hardiness, adaptability, luxur- 

 iant fioresence and long duration rendering them indispensable for purposes of decoration in. 

 every line of floriculture. 



LILIES FOR FORCING. 



The bulbs may be potted from August onward in 

 a compost of equal parts turfy loam, leaf mould, 

 rotten cow manure and sand. It is best to start 

 them in pots not exceeding twice their own diam- 

 eter, in which they may remain till 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 becoming sour, and enables the roots form- 

 ing at the base of the stem to become feeders, 

 greatly increasing the number and size of the 

 blossoms.
