Lilies 
The Lily is a favorite flower everywhere. 
Liliiim candiduiii does best when planted in 
August or September. This variety is valu¬ 
able for forcing, and is used extensively for 
this pui'itose. The method is to plant the 
bulbs in 6-inch pots, barely covering them 
with soil, tlien plunge them in the garden in 
a warm, sheltered place, and let them remain 
there until the pots are well filled with roots, 
after which they may be removed to the 
house or conservatory, where they will flower 
in eight or ten weeks. In forcing L. llarrisii 
or L. longiflorum, plant them in 6-inch pots 
half filled with rich soil, sink the bulbs, leav¬ 
ing just the tips exposed. After the bulb 
has thrown its stem above the top of the pot, 
fill the pot with rich soil.
