Liliums. 
Among bulbous plants the Lilium is unrivalled for the embellishment of a Conservatory. The 
bulbs should be potted in the Autumn, and grown on so as to bloom in succession. Loam and peat 
in equal proportions, with a small quantity of sand will grow them well. After potting, plunge 6 in. 
deep in damp cocoa fibre, withholding water until top growth has commenced ; place in a cold pit 
and protect from frost, removing to the Greenhouse as required. When coming into flower, liquid 
manure may be given with good result. Re-pot in fresh soil as soon as the stems die down.

noted prices are for plants in pots in full growth.
