THE HOME GARDEN. 
The plant is very easily grown, being a native of this coun¬ 
try, and it will last from year to year without any protec¬ 
tion. 
The bulbs can be planted at almost any time, although 
autumn is considered the best season, and the bed can 
then be covered with manure, and the plants left to get 
ready for blooming the next summer. 
The Japan lilies have become quite at home in our 
gardens, which their gorgeous blossoms make beautiful dur¬ 
ing the month of July, ranging from pure white in color 
to the deepest rose. A pink lily is always beautiful, and 
roseum , the most common perhaps of this species, is 
spotted with rose in such a way that the effect is a delicate 
pink.
