LILIUM. (Lilies.) 
Culture out of doors —The 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’ We have seen 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 it feet, sur- 
mounted with large heads of flowers, with from 50 to upwards of 100 blossoms. During the past summer 
we had Auratums blooming magnificently under the shade of, and in proximity to, an old mulberry and 2 walnut- 
tree where the light green stems, the fresh coloured foliage, and the finely developed flowers of the Lily, 
indicated the most robust health. In preparing ground for Lilies, loosen the soil to a depth of several feet to 
secure the requisite drainage, intermixing fresh loam, peat, and coarse sand, or leaf soil instead of peat. Care 
should be taken that the soil is as free as possible from insect life, and the compost should be of such a character 
as not to cling to the bulb. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 6 inches, and if all tilings are equal they need not be 
disturbed for years. The bog or swamp-loving Lilies, Superbum, Canadense, and the varieties of Pardalinum 
do best u^r/n-di wm — The Lily succeeds best in a compost of fibry loam and peat, with plenty of sand, or leaf soil 
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 arc formed, then remove to the conservatory, corridor, or sitting-room. While the 
Lilv 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 m pots, should 
have a watering of liauid manure twice a week, the drainage perfect and the soil kept sweet. Superbum 
Canadense, and varieties of Pardalinum, succeed best in sandy peat. . .. , 
The Lily is a matchless plant for indoor decoration. All the varieties do well under glass. 1 he magnificent 
Neilglicrrense, so admirably figured in the coloured plate of The Gardeners' Chronicle, and Wallichianum are 
PUrL Wrhave amnged'the Lilies in accordance with Mr. Baker's classification, which is a natural grouping based 
on the shape of the flower ; these groupings with a few exceptions, represent also the order of flowering. 
If nurchasers will therefore select from each group, they will secure both diversity of form and succession of bloom.
