THE LILY, for variety of colour, chasteneBS, and beauty of form, is matchless amongst hardy 
plants. The flowering commences in May, and a continuous unbroken succession of bloom, from species of 
different countries, is maintained till the frosts of autumn destroy the last unexpanded flower buds. 
CULTURE OUT-OF-DOORS.— In choosing a situation for planting, perfect drainage, natural or artificial, 
should be the first consideration. The borders of Rhododendron and Azalea beds, and such like positions, 
are generally suitable for Lily culture, as the necessary compost for the particular species can easily be given, 
and the shelter from the surrounding branches is beneficial in protecting the plants front cold winds in spiing, 
and also affording a partial shelter from the sun’s rays in summer. Sheltered spots in mixed herbaceous and 
shrubbery borders will also do. In prepar ing the ground, loosen the soil to a depth of several feet, and add 
fresh loam, coarse sand, and sweet decomposed leaf soil, or good peat, care being taken that the soils are as free 
as possible from insect life , and the compost sufficiently friable. Plant the bulbs 4 to 6 inches deep (except 
where otherwise stated), and they may then remain undisturbed for many years. The bog or swamp-loving 
Lilies Superbum, and the varieties of Canadense and Fardalinum, prefer a rather moist peaty or retentive 
loamy soil and rather shady situation ; they are admirably adapted for growing amongst Rhododendrons and 
Azaleas, and for the sides of brooks, ponds, rivulets, &c. ; they are also charming naturalized m Grass. 
CULTURE IN-DOORS. — THE LILY being a free rooter requires plenty of pot room, therefore use in 
most cases a 6 or 8-inch pot for one bulb, according to its size, and a compost of fibrous loam and sweet 
decomposed leaf soil, with plenty of coarse sand or good peat ; or loam and sand will do. See that the drainage 
is perfect and the inside of the pot clean, to start with. Pot firmly, barely covering the top of the bulb, and 
leaving room to add more soil when the surface roots appeal-. Select a situation out-of-doors, protected from
