Lilies (Lilium). 
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, be 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 ; and 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.
