The time of planting Lilies ranges from Sept, to Dec. ; 
the earlier they can he procured and planted the better. 
The finest of all Lilies for pot culture, alike for beauty, 
infinite variety, fragrance, and easy culture, are L. Auratum 
and L. Speciosum. Lilies for forcing should he started any 
time from September to the end of January. Under ordi- 
nary conditions Lilies may be had in bloom from June to 
October. 
The depth for planting different sorts of Lilies varies 
greatly — some species will not thrive unless planted deep. 
On an average, we like to plant Lilies about 6 in. below 
the surface, which gives stem roots a chance to assist 
those under the bulb. They should not be laid in a 
scooped-out hole, but on a level loosened-up bottom, with 
some nice friable soil to root Into, either singly or in 
clumps of three to six, each bulb 9 In. or so apart, 
according to sort.
