LILIES FOR FORCING. 
If wanted by mail, add 5 cents each. 
The 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 con- 
siderably 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 num- 
ber and size of the blossoms.
