HARDY VARIETIES FOR THE GARDEN 
Liliam Speciosam 
POT CULTURE.—Use loam and peat in about equal 
parts, with the addition of a sprinkling of sharp sand 
and powdered charcoal. Select a large-sized pot, say an 
eight or ten-inch, so as to allow of deep planting, a most 
essential matter where there are upper roots to be pro¬ 
tected. Dust a little charcoal about the bulb to keep 
it fresh, and cover at least two inches with soil. Water 
lightly until the shoot begins to appear; never apply 
liquid manure of any kind unless as a stimulant, when 
iust about to flower. Varieties worthy of mention for 
growing in pots are Auratiim, Speciosum, Longiflorum, 
Harrisii, Tenuifolium and Candidum. Other excellent 
sorts for pots are Brownii, Krameri, Chalcedonicum, Bate- 
mania?, Wallacei, Monadelphum, etc. 
LILIES FOR FORCING AND HOUSE 
CULTURE 
Bermuda Grown Lilies 
LILIUM HARRISII 
(Bermuda Easter Lily) 
Pot bulbs as soon as received, using pots about twice 
the diameter of the bulb. If planted in August and pots 
set outdoors with a covering of four to six inches of 
litter, they will be rooted and ready to bring into the 
house by October, where, if they are kept in a tempera¬ 
ture of from 55 degrees at night to 70 degrees during 
the day, they will be in flower by Xmas. A succession 
of bloom is obtained by bringing into the house a sup¬ 
ply as w’anted, but bear in mind that Harrisii is not 
hardy, and requires protection if kept outdoors after 
cold weather sets in. * Extra care is exercised in securing 
our stocks of Bermuda growm bulbs. All are produced 
under contract especially for us.

There is no class of hardy flow-ering plants so desir¬ 
able. They begin to flow'er in May, and with the many 
varieties obtainable one can have a constant succession 
of bloom until frost. They succeed very well amongst 
shrubbery. Some of the late varieties of Lilies do not 
arrive from Japan before the ground freezes, so it is 
advisable to prepare Lily beds or borders early in au¬ 
tumn, covering them with about six inches of leaves or 
other litter to prevent the ground freezing before the 
bulbs arrive. The hulbs can also be planted in spring. 
Plant deep, nine to twelve inches, according to the size 
of the bulb and depth of soil. When practicable to 
obtain peat or leaf mould and sand in which to grow 
them, better results will follow. 
The following varieties are good for pot culture: 
Auratum, Speciosums, Candidum, Brownii, Batemaniae, 
Krameri, Chalcedonicum, etc.
