LUXURIOUS ROYAL LILIES 
Until a few years ago Lilies were only seen at official occasions, but as their price has been 
lowered considerably, they are seen nowadays in most of the private gardens and houses. 
In the garden, in a shady place, these large, regal flowers will produce a fine display this 
summer. It is advisable to plant them in front or In between shrubs where they will lie left 
undisturbed for several years, and the number of flowers they produce multiply year by 
year. Everyone agrees that they are lovely cut flowers ; they should be cut as soon as the 
first cups are open. For indoor cultivation too, they are most suitable and undoubtedly they 
will give you much pleasure, and satisfaction. Cultivation : The bulbs should be unpacked 
as soon as they arrive. It may occur that certain of the outer parts of the bulbs look mouldy, 
this might be due to transport, and these parts should be taken away as it does not inter¬ 
fere with the development. The soil must be deeply dug and thoroughly mixed with manure, 
to a depth of about 12 inches over the whole bed. Plant the Lilies in such a way that the 
tops of the bulbs are covered with about 4 inches of soil and by preference, in a shady 
spot. For indoor cultivation the bulbs should be planted in pots of good, nutritive soil, again 
with 4 inches of soil covering the top of the bulbs. In any case the bulbs must not be kept 
loo warm, and we would advise you to put the pots in the garden at first, and only when 
the buds are formed to bring them indoors where they will soon flower perfectly. The 
heights we mention are only for the Lilies planted in the garden and not indoors.
