Among bulbous plants the Lilium stands unrivalled for the embellishment of the greenhouse or conservatory. Many of the species 
and varieties also make excellent border plants, and when planted among shrubs, such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, &c., their stately 
habit and beautiful, varied coloured, fragrant flowers produce a grand effect. They do not like being disturbed, and should be planted 
where they can remain for several years. For greenhouse purposes a few selected bulbs of choice varieties should be potted or planted 
early in the Autumn, when they are at rest, and grown on so as to bloom in succession. Loam and peat in about equal proportions, 
with a small quantity of sand added, will grow them well. If manure be used in the compost it should be old and limited :n quantity. 
After potting plunge the pots 6 inches deep in damp cocoa fibre, withholding water from the pots until top growth has commenced ; 
place in a cold pit and protect from frost, removing to the greenhouse or conservatory as required. When coming into flower liquid manure 
may be given them with good result. Re-pot with fresh soil as soon as the stems have died down. 
Those marked thus (*) are most suitable for greenhouse and conservatory decoration as well as for outdoor culture. Each — s. d.
