LILIES (Lilium) for Spring Planting. 
For growing Lilies in pots a compost of about equal parts of sandy loam, leaf mould, and peat, is, perhaps, the best. Fine Lilies may, 
however, bo grown in almost any good light and rich soil, especially those of the Auratum type. For single specimens use pots of about six inches 
diameter. These will be found very useful for house decoration; but pots of eight or ten inches diameter, with five or six bulbs in each, form grand 
objects for the conservatory when in bloom. Pot firmly, any time during Spring, with the bulbs about two inches below the surface, and plunge the 
pots with their rims about six inches deep in some light material, such as ashes or. cocoa-nut fibre, in some sheltered position out of doors. When the 
stems have pushed their way well through the plunging material, they may be lifted and removed to a cool pit or frame till the flower-buds are 
developed, when they may be removed to the greenhouse or conservatory. 
All the sorts mentioned in the following list are suitable for Spring planting out of doors. For pot culture, however, we strongly recommend the 
beautiful varieties of Auratum and Speciosum, with the addition of the fine longiflorum giganteum as the most suitable.
