Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies 



Culture of Various Garden Lilies. A deep, moist, rich loam is necessary for Lilies. A stubborn clay may be improved for them by 

 deep digging, and incorporating with the staple plenty of decayed manure and leaf-mold. They all thrive in peat, or rotten turf, or indeed 

 in any soil containing an abundance of decomposing vegetable matter. They should be planted deep for their size, never less tlian 

 6 inches. When tliey have stood some years, they should be taken up and parted, and the borders must be deeply dug and liberally 

 manured before replanting.
