LEiLiks 
The Lily is admired for its queenly beauty, 
majestic grandeur and faultless purity. 
Nearly every variety will withstand the se- 
Sey, Verity of our winters, and many are among 
‘\;} the most hardy of our garden flowers. 
Their culture is simple and with a lit- 
tle care failure is impossible. The 
bulbs should be planted as soon as 
™, the frost is out of the ground—the 
) earlier the better. Select a well 
drained spot, dig the soil deep, and 
make it fine, enriching it abundantly 
with very rotten cow manure, adding } 
a liberal mixture of sand. Set the 
bulbs from three to five inches deep, 
according tosize. During the winter 
it is advisable to cover the surface of 
the bed with a thin layer of manure, 
which will afford a slight protection 
» to the bulbs and also materially en- 
rich the soil. In spring the manure 
may be removed or dug in between 
the rows. Care should be taken that 
they have proper drainage, no water 
being allowed to stand around the roots. 
Once firmly established, they should not 
be disturbed oftener than once in five 
years. To produce extra fine specimens
