one-third, of leaf-mould or peat can be mixed 
■with the soil it will be all the better; in heavy- 
loamy soils the Game proportion of _ sand "will 
make it a very Bnitable spot. In making a bed 
for Lilies the fact must be conbtantly borne in 
mind that the work is being done for several years 
to come, as the less the bulbs are disturbed, the 
belter will be the result in flowers. Late in fall 
a mulch of leaves or hay will be beneficial to 
Lilies as well as other bulbs. "We have ^ven a 
great deal of attention to the growing of Lilies and 
have as fine a stock of the rarer, as well as com- 
moner, sorts as can be found in the country. Our 
importations firom Japan and other countries are 
large and frequent, and our nursery contains 
many varieties not to be had elsewhere, and at 
reasonable prices. *We supply Dr. Wallace's
