LILIUMS. 
Pot Culture.— As soon as the bulbs are received pot them, one in a 6-inch pot, or two or three in an 8-inch 
pot. Do not let the soil come within two inches of the rim of the pot. Place in a cold frame, and give water sparingly 
till growth appears, As the shoots increase give more liberal supplies, and when all danger of frost is past remove 
to a sheltered but light situation in the open air. About the beginning of July fill up the pots to within an inch 
of the rim with well-rotted manure. As soon as the buds are fairly developed afford the plants the protection of a 
glass roof or other shelter. 
The varieties tnarked * are the most suitable for pot culture.
