Culture. — Immediately after potting, place in a moist warm temperature if at command, and, if con- 
venient, plunge the pot to the rim in a gentle, steady moist bottom heat ; thus treated, a vigorous leaf growth 
is produced, and a strong stem with a large umbel of large flowers secured. In the absence of bottom heat, 
the plant does well in any ordinary greenhouse or sunny sitting-room window.

LILUJMS (Lilies). 
THE LILY is matchless amongst hardy plants for variety of colour, chasteness, and beauty of form. It is 
an important plant to associate in beds with Rhododendrons and Poeonies, and in borders amongst Herbaceous 
plants. As a pot-plant the Lily is a general favourite. We enumerate here only a few popular showy kinds, 
but a complete list, with cultural notes, may be had on application.

TIGRIDIA (Tiger-spotted Flowers). 
No flower is more gorgeously coloured or more beautiful than the Tigridla. The bulbs are supplied 
from December to May, and can be planted out-doors March, April, or May, or for pot-culture, earlier. 
As soon as potted plunge in a cold frame and withhold water till the foliage appears, and then give sparingly 
at first. Plantings out-of-doors may be made as late as June, and these if lifted and potted in September, will 
flower under glass late in Autumn. ( Beautiful Coloured Plate of T. alba, price 1/6.)
