LILIES 



For elegance of form and beauty the Lily is matchless among the bulbous 

 plants. Such varieties as are used for forcing should be potted as soon as 

 the bulbs are obtainable. Plant bulbs in pots that are about twice the 

 diameter of the bulbs; start them slowly, and as they advance toward the 

 blooming period shift them to larger pots. For outdoor culture, plant 

 the bulbs about 8 inches below the surface in soil that is well drained.
