LILIES FOR FORCING 
If to be sent by Parcel Post, add postage at zone rates; 
weight per dozen bulbs, 10 lbs. 
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 8 inches or more. They 
should be transferred then to larger pots in which to bloom, exer- 
cising 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.

Lilium candidum 
Special Notice. Many of the late-flowering Lilies cannot be shipped from Japan until October and will be forwarded in 
November, or as soon thereafter as they arrive. We advise the preparation of the Lily-beds or borders early in autumn, covering them with 
4 to 6 inches of leaves or other litter, to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. The late sorts comprise the following: Aura- 
tum, Batemannix, Henryi, and Speciosum. Lilium candidum, however, will be shipped on arrival, as it is essential that they should 
make an autumn growth to insure perfect blooms the next season.
