LILIES FOR FORCING. 



THE bulbs may be potted from 

 August onward in a compost of 

 equal parts turfy loam, leaf mold, 

 rotten cow manure, and sand. It is best 

 to start them in pots not exceeding twice 

 their ow n diameter, in which they may 

 remain until started eight inches or more. 

 They should be transferred then to larger 

 pots iii which to bloom, exercising great 

 care not to disturb the roots or break 

 away the soil from about them, and set- 

 ting them considerably deeper in the 

 larger pots. This method prevents the 

 soil from becoming sour, and enables the 

 roots forming at the base of the stem 

 to become feeders, greatly increasing the 

 number and size of the blossoms. 



Lilium Harri: 



LILIUM CANDIDUM. 

 {The Ascension or Old Fashioned English Lent Zily.) 



THESE are grown for us in the north of France, and are the large, thick petalled 

 variety. Pure white bell-shaped flowers, borne on erect racemes, excellent both 

 for forcing and open garden cultivation. Bulbs from the Marseilles district 

 have become degenerate and affected by disease. They should be avoided.
