LILIES FOR FORCING. 



If wanted by mall, 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.

OUR NATIVE LILIES. 



are best for producing natural effects. They thrive in moist soil or where there is partial 



shade, and for such situations no flowers are more satisfactory. Once planted, they care for 



themselves. The shrubbery is an ideal place for Lilies. 



their flowers coming when most of the shrubs are out 



of bloom. Lilium Superbum, Canadense and Phila- 



delphicum are suitable for shrubbery 



planting as well as the Elegans nai - 



ieties and Tiger lilies. These should 



be planted in clumps, the bulbs 6 to 



8 inches deep and 



6 inches apart.
