Ab^^^^ little care failure is impossible. The bulbs should be planted as 



soon as the frost is out of the ground— the earlier the better. Select 



a well dramed spot, dig the soil deep, and make it fine, enriching it abundantly 



with very rotten cow manure, adding a liberal mixture of sand. Set the bulbs from 



three to five inches deep, according to size. During the winter it is advisable to cover 



the surface of the bed with a thin layer of manure, which will afford a slight 



protection to the bulbs and also materially enrich the soil. In spring the 



manure may be removed or dug m between the rows. Care should be taken 



that they have proper drainage, no water being allowed to stand arotmd the 



roots. Once firmly established, they should not be disturbed oftener than once 



in five years. To produce extra fine specimens plant the bulbs in small pots 



early in spring and raise them in the greenhouse or house. 



Lilium Auratum. The glorious gold-banded lily of Japan, and one of the 



grandest plants in cultivation. Its immense ivory-white flowers are thickly
