LILIES 



The Lily is a favorite flower everywhere. 

 Lilium candidum does best when planted in 

 August or September, This variety is val- 

 uable for forcing, and is used extensively 

 for this purpose. The method is to plant 

 the bulbs in 6-inch pots, barely covering 

 them willi soil, then plunge them in the 

 garden in a warm, sheltered place, and let 

 them remain there until the pots are well 

 filled with roots, after which the}' may be 

 removed to the house or conservatory, 

 where they will flower in eight or ten weeks. 



In forcing L. Harrisii or L. longiflorum, 

 plant them in 6-inch pots half filled with 

 rich soil, sink the bulbs, leaving just the 

 tips exposed. After the bulb has thrown 

 its stem above the top of the pot, fill the 

 pot with rich soil, composed mostly of well- 

 rotted cow manure, as these bulbs throw 

 out rootlets from the stem of the bulb. 



LILIUM HARRISII 



The Bermuda Easter Lily is perhaps the 

 finest and most popular of winter-blooming 

 plants. The large, handsome, pure white 

 trumpet-shaped flowers are very sweet- 

 scented and of great substance, and last a 

 long time after cutting. Its stately and 

 graceful habit renders it a perfect pot-plant 

 for table or winter decoration.
