CATALOGUE OF BULBOUS ROOTS FOR 1914. 
21 
Lilies . 
Their adaptability for both garden and 
indoor decoration, and their tall and 
stately beauty places Tallies in the front 
rank of bulbous rooted summer flowering 
plants. All the varieties, with the 
exception of Harrish, are splendid 
subjects for the centre of large beds, 
and for clumps in the borders where, 
during the months of July, August and 
September, they make a grand display. 
I y ilium Auratum, all the Lancifolium 
varieties, and the Longiflorums, in- 
cluding Harrish, succeed admirably in 
pots indoors. When I, dies are grown 
indoors, large pots should be provided, 
as it is important that the roots be kept 
cool. A good compost of loam and leaf 
mould, with a little peat and sand, suits 
them best, and the bulbs should be placed 
about half-way down the pot (leaving 
the top of the bulb exposed) so as to 
leave plenty of room for subsequent 
top dressing. Stand them in a cold 
frame or similar place until well rooted, 
and water sparingly until growth has 
commenced. When planting out of 
doors the bulbs should be placed about 
(1 or 8 inches deep, in good rich soil. Lilium auratum.
