Miscellaneous Bulbs ( continued ) 
LILIUMS 
Very little need be said in praise of the beautiful varieties 
of Lilies offered below, all of which are well known and very 
popular. Many of the varieties, such as Auratum, the Lancifolium 
section, and Longiflorum giganteum, are admirably adapted for pot 
culture, and succeed well in a compost of about equal parts of 
sandy loam, leaf mould, and peat. In potting, provide ample 
drainage, and place the bulbs firmly in the soil a few inches below 
the rim of the pot, thus leaving room to fill it with a top dressing 
of fresh soil as the growth proceeds. When grown out-of-doors 
Lilies require a deep rich soil, with which should be incorporated 
a liberal supply of well-decayed manure and leaf mould; plant 
about 6 ins. deep. All the varieties mentioned below are quite 
hardy, and make splendid subjects for the mixed border, where 
they are most effective when planted in groups of three or more; 
they also form splendid specimens for the centre of beds, etc. 
Lilium Candidum should be planted in September, and the other 
varieties at any time from November until March.

MUSCARI 
(Grape Hyacinths ) 
These delightful hardy spring-flowering bulbs are equally 
suitable for planting in the borders or rockery, or for pot culture 
indoors, and when associated with Snowdrops or Scillas, their 
dainty little clusters of bell-shaped flowers produce an exceed¬ 
ingly pretty effect. Heavenly Blue is a charming effect for pot or 
vase cultivation.

RANUNCULUS 
Whether looked upon as a flower for cutting or for the 
brilliant effect it gives in the garden, there are few to equal 
the Ranunculus. Plant from October to February, in rows 3 to 
4 ins. apart, 2 ins. deep, and the tubers 3 ins. apart in the rows. 
They thrive best in a stiff loamy soil. In April or May, should 
the weather be dry, water the beds freely two or tliree times a 
week (taking care not to wet the foliage), as successful blooming 
depends on maintaining a uniform moist surface in dry seasons.
