Culture of Group II 
The second group into which I would divide ("alifornian Lilies as lo culture, coni|)rises 
all of the so-called Hog Lilies. The I'ar.lalinum and I'arvum group are so classed. 
These Lilies gr..w naturally along the banks of small, living streams, on the borders 
of lakes and |ion.ls. in dee|), al|)ine meadows, .;n (he borders of or on raised hummocks in 
bogs. Their bulbs are not so deep as ihc others, anil the\' ari' more dependeni upon surface 
moisture. The soil in such places as I have mentioned is always rich in rollen leaves, and 
usually sand\-: soiuelinu's it is pi-at or pure humus. Low shrubs or tail plants protect the 
surface from. heat, while the tall stalks rise abov'e them into the sun. 
Drain.\c,i:. The fad that the\- like moisture does not mean that lhe\- like a water- 
soaked soil. -Many failures with Hog Lilies are <lue to this error. Hetler err in the direction 
of dryness. If the roots can go down to moisture, all the better, but don't of all things, imt 
the bulb in wet, gummy soil. 
Son.. .\ light sandy loam, mixed uith leaf-mold .,r peal, is the best possible. 
SrnwTKiv. .M\- di'scription of the natural habilal will suggesi the best localicui where 
large and \-aried grounds gi\'e a choiie. (!n the margin of a pond or brook, |>lanted ti fool or 
so above the water-level, in m<.isl. meadow-like expanses in sheltered places, or damp op.en- 
ings in woods. These are ideal location- for all of these Lilies. 
In smidi groun.ls, a hydrant can be so arranged as lo give a c.mstani drip: the fern 
corner is goo.l, and the rhododendron bed is perfectly adapted.
