Liilium Henryi. 



LILIES FOR FORCING. 



If wanted by mall, add S 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 considerably deper 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. {Ascension or Madonna Lily.) 



These are grown for us in France, and are the large variety, with pure white
