Lilium Harrisii. 



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 diameter, in which 

 they may remain till started eight inches or more. 

 They should be transferred then to larger pots in which 

 to bloom, exercisirtg 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 en- 

 ables the roots forming at the base of the stem to be- 

 come feeders, greatly increasing the number and size 



of the blossoms.

LILIUM CANDIDUM. 



( The Ascension or Old Fashioned English 



Lent Lily.) 



These are grown for us in the north of France, and 

 are the large, thick-petalled variety. Pure white bell- 

 shaped flowers, borne on erect racemes, excellent both 

 for forcing and open garden cultivation. Bulbs from 

 the Marseilles district have become degenerate and 

 affected by disease. They should be avoided. 



Mammoth Northern Grown. Each, 15 cents; per 

 doz., $1.50; per 100, $8.00; per 1,000, $70.00. 

 By men/, add 5 cents each, for postage.

 Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. : 



Dear Sirs, — The Lilium Candidum we had from 

 you last August have been superb. On our forced 

 plants many of the spikes carry from 12 to 15 flowers 

 and buds each, and numerous bulbs produced two 

 flower stalks. tN^ot one of the 500 bulbs supplied has 

 a trace of disease which for years has been so rife, and 

 which has discouraged so many from continuing the 

 culture of this superb lily. 



Yours very truly, 



IVILLMCM N. CT{AIG, 



Head Gardener to {Mrs. F. L. Ames.
