LILIUM. {LiUes:) 
Culture out of doors.— 'Yhs. Lily in its native habitat, is found growing amongst brushwood, long grass, on 
the margins of plantations, or in ravines, &c., and always where there is more or less shade, and in soil which is 
sweet and well drained ; so that in choosing a situation for planting these, partial shade and perfect drainage 
should be attended to. The borders of Rhododendron and Azalea beds are found admirably suited for lily 
culture ; they also do well amongst dwarf shrubs, or intermingled with herbaceous plants, and in the proximity 
of trees! During the past summer we saw Lilium auratum alternated with Roses, in the borders of Rhododendron 
beds, the stems of the lilies in some cases measuring 3 to 4 inches in circumference, and attaining a height of 
II fek, surmounted with large heads of flowers, with from 50 to upwards of 100 blossoms. As we write this, we 
have Auratums blooming magnificently under tlie shade of an o)d oak tree, and immediately under Standard 
Mop-lieaded Acacias, where the light green stems, the fresh coloured foliage, and the finely developed flowers 
of the Lily, indicate the most robust health. Prepare the ground by loosening the soil to a good depth, inter- 
mixing fresh loam, plenty of peat and coarse sand, or leaf soil may be used instead of peat, taking care that 
soil as free as possible from insect life be u.sed. In this plant the bulbs 6 inches deep, and if the drainage is 
satisfactory they need not be disturbed for years. Still better, when planting remove the natural soil and 
replace with the compost named. The bog or swamp-loving Lilies, Superbum, Canadense, and the Pardalinum 
varieties, succeed best in a moist peaty soil. 
Culture /b-</oo«.— T he Lily succeeds best in a compost of fibry loam and peat, with plenty of sand, or leaf sou 
and loam with sand ; the top of the bulb should be covered at least one to two inches, and the pots plunged in 
ashes in a cold frame ; or the pots may be placed out of doors, and covered with ashes, as recommended in the 
culture of the Hyacinth, and there allowed to remain till the plants have speared through, or better still, let them 
remain till the flower buds are formed, then remove to the conservatory, corridor, or sitting-room. While the 
Lily is growing, a situation should be selected, or measures taken to prevent the sun's rays falling upon the 
surface soil. A vinery, or the north side of a hedge or wall, are suitable places. Lilies grown in pots, should 
have liquid manure twice a week, and the drainage must be perfect and the soil kept sweet. Superbum, Canadense, 
and Pardalinum varieties, succeed best in sandy peat. 
The Lily is a matchless plant for indoor decoration, and is unequalled for its decorative effect in large con- 
servatories, glass corridors, &c. j 
We have arranged the Lilies in accordance with Mr. Baker's classification, which is a natural grouping b^ed 
on the shape of the flower ; these groupings with a few exceptions, represent also the order of flowering. 
Purchasers therefore selecting from each group, secure both diversity of form and succession of bloom.
