Directions. — Tuberoses will not bear 

 much cold; do not plant till ground is warm. 

 They may be started in the house in a warm 

 place, but care must be taken that they get 

 no check in setting out. Plant 2 or 3 inches 

 deep and 6 to 8 inches apart in the row in 

 good warm rich ground, free from shade. If 

 danger of frost before the flowers are done in 

 the Fall, lift carefully with the earth on the 

 roots, and plant in pots or boxes in a warm,

 decoration, and particularly in Bridal and Funeral work. They are always in demand at 

 good prices. 



JAPAN LILIES. 



Japan Lilies are always greatly admired; their large size, lovely form and charming 

 colors place them among the most beautiful flowers. Lily bulbs should be planted quite 

 deep, say not less than six to eight inches. Unlike most other flowers, they do not need 

 strong ground or manure, but thrive best in a partially shaded situation, sheltered by shrub- 

 bery and other plants. They are entirely hardy, and need no protection in Winter, though 

 in exposed situations it is advisable to give a slight covering of leaves or coarse litter when 

 convenient. Lilies increase in size and beauty with age, and should be left undisturbed from 

 year to year. When the best effect is desired, we recommend planting one or two dozen of 

 a kind, rather than one or two each of several kinds ; they are very desirable and always 

 give satisfaction. They can be planted Spring or Fall, as preferred.
