JAPAN LILIES. 



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

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



es. Unhke most other tlowers, 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 dozens of a kind, rather than one 

 or two each of several kinds ; they are very de- 

 sirable, and always give satisfaction. They 

 can be planted spring or fall as preferred.
