AUTUMN CATALOGUE OF BULBS, SEEDS AND GARDEN REQUISITES. 13 
LILIES. 
In the bulb garden Lilies rank first in importance. They are stately and beautiful, match¬ 
less in form and variety of color, while possessing the most agreeable perfume, and for 
general effect they have no rivals. Bulbs should be planted six inches deep as soon as they 
can be obtained after ripening, some being ready in August while others are not ready till 
j October or November. They thrive best in a well drained, deep, loamy soil, made rich with 
^ thoroughly rotten cow or sheep manure, and an inch of clean saud placed under and over 
the bulbs, when setting; manure should not come in contact with the bulbs as it causes 
decay. Top dressing is the better way to enrich the soil after the bulbs are once established. 
The beds should be well covered in the fall with any good litter that will exclude frost. 
Lilium Harrisii. (Bermuda Easter Lily.) 
One of the best for house culture. The 
flowers are trumpet shape, pure waxy 
white, and delightfully fragrant. Bulbs 
should be potted in a rich soil, using five 
to eight inch pot, according to size of bulb, 
and the pots plunged in a cold frame or 
kept in a dark, cold place, to get a strong 
root growth before the top starts; when 
well rooted they may be brought into gen¬ 
tle heat and forced into bloom. By bring¬ 
ing them in at intervals a succession of 
bloom may be had throughout the winter.
