LILIES.- 

 Lilium Auratum, 



Of all the Lily tribe, this is undoubtedly 

 one of the finest, whether we regard its size, 

 its sweetness, or its exquisite arrangement 

 of color. Its large and graceful flowers 

 are composed of six petals of a delicate 

 ivory white color, thickly studded with 

 chocolate crimson spots, and striped 

 through the center a golden yellow. From 



LILIUM AURATUM. 



6 to 20 flowers are produced on a stem, and. 

 as the bulbs acquire age and strength, the 

 flowers increase in size and number. It is 

 perfectly hardy, and thrives best in a mod- 

 erately dry, rich loam where the water does 

 not lie in winter. Good drainage is neces- 

 sary to the successful growing of this Lily. 

 Plant 6 inches deep, and cover lightly dur- 

 ing winter. 



CULTURE IN POTS.— When grown in 

 pots, the best soil is sandy peat, but they 

 will flower finely in a light, rich mixture. 

 It is advisable to begin with the smallest 

 size pot in which the bulbs can be placed, 

 and to shift into larger and larger pots as 

 the plant progresses, and until the flower 

 buds appear, when, of course, no further 

 shifting should be done. A cool tempera- 

 ture suits it best, and the plants should be 

 liberally watered during the period of 

 growth and flowering.
