Various Japanese, European and American Garden Lilies 



FOR OUTDOOR PLANTING AND NATURALIZING 



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

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

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

 six inches. When they havi- stood some years, they should be taken up and parted, and the borders must be deeply dug and liberally 

 manured btfiue replantinL;.
