found to produce flowers of a larger size than 
either roseum or album. They vary somewhat in 
their pinky tint, according to their exposure, and 
to the warmth of the season. They emit too, a 
pleasant fragrance. 
It is by no means unimportant to know how 
plants like these may be multiplied, so as to ex- 
tend, as much as is possible, the gratifications which 
they produce. The increase of Lilies has usually 
been confined to the separation of the small bulbs 
which have been produced as offsets at the root 
of the jrarent plant. Of late a more efficient prac- 
tice has prevailed; which consists of separating a 
portion of the scales which compose the bulb, and 
planting them singly in small pots, in sandy soil. 
This operation should be performed just before the 
bulb begins to vegetate. When thus planted the 
pots should be submitted to a gentle bottom heat, 
and have occasional waterings. In a short time 
small bulbs will be produced at the base of these 
scales, which may be detached when they become 
as large as peas; and, by being potted, and care- 
fully nursed in a warm temperature, they wdU 
grow to maturity. 
Although it may not be pinident to expose the 
bulbs of this Lily to ■winter frosts, in the open 
ground, still they grow best there during summer. 
They maybe protected in a cold frame during winter, 
and in spring carefully turned into the borders, 
without breaking the ball of earth in which they 
are enclosed. In the latter part of summer, whilst 
in a dormant state, they should be taken up, re- 
potted, and laid by for shelter in -winter.
