LILIES— j 
To those desiring further information regarding Lilies, we commend Dr. Wallace’s “Notes on Lilies’’ 
{price 2/9 by post) ; also Vol. XXVI. of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Journal containing a report of 
the Great Lily Conference at Chiswick, July i6, 1901. , , . . , 
II*- The majority of Lilies are not ready for dispatch before the beginning of Novenilier ; a lew 
sorts, however, are ready earlier, such as Candidum, Croceum, longifloruni, etc., while some of the 
Japanese imported varieties do not arrive until December. Orders for Lilies will therefore be executed, 
if necessary, in two or more parts. 
Soils and Situations Recommended for Different Lilies. 
II Indicates those Lilies of easiest culture, being strong free growers thriving in most soils. Where 
soil is very dry and poor, add loam and peat, or leaf soil ; where heavy and damp, add sand and leaf soil. 
All require good drainage and plenty of moisture while in growth. .... r i* 1 
SI Indicates those Lilies requiring a good friable soil, not too dry, and the addition of a little peat is 
advisable. The lower part of the stems should be kept in shade. • j a n 
if Indicates those Lilies delighting in shady and moist situations, sheltered from strong winds. A well- 
drained peat soil, where there is bottom moisture for the bulbs to root into, is recommended. Where a brook, 
stream, or iiond is available, they may be planted at the margins, where the bulbs can remain moderately damp, 
and the roots 6nd all the moisture they require below. In planting cover and surround bulbs with sand. 
8 Indicates the chief stem-rooting Lilies.

LILIUM AURAIUM. 
Aura.tum (The White Golden-rayed 
Crimson-spotted Hill Lily of Japan), ht. 4 to 
6 ft. This is indeed the Queen of Lilies, and 
should have a place in every garden and green- 
house. It commences to bloom in August and 
continues on into September. It is of simplest 
culture and perfectly hardy. Those who have 
beds or borders of Rhododendrons should plant 
this grand Lily freely amongst them for a 
succession of bloom. Growing amongst Paeonies, 
and along the margins of evergreens, groups of 
L. auratum (6 to 12 bulbs in a clump, planted 
9 inches apart), produce a grand effect. As 
isolated subjects on large lawns, groups of Lilium 
auratum look very handsome and stately. A 
situation should be chosen where the plants are 
sheltered from cutting winds and screened from 
the midday sun ; on slopes, in a free soil, moist 
but not wet, this Lily does well, and makes a 
fine effect.
