The Lily has been, with eminent propriety, styled the 

 "Queen of Flowers," and truly no flower conveys so 

 adequate an idea of queenly beauty, majestic grandeur, 

 and faultless purity, as the Lily. Their culture is sim-

 should be taken that the bulbs have proper 

 drainage, no water being allowed to stand 

 around the roots. The bulbs can be trans- 

 _- planted either in spring or autumn, but 



should be kept out of ground the shortest 

 possible time. Once firmly established, they 

 should not be disturbed oftener than once in
