Lilies for Forcing 
Most of the varieties of Lilies recommended for 
outdoor culture are also suitable for forcing and growing 
along in pots. 
The tender Lilies, such as Harrisi usually available 
in August, Formosum obtainable in September, and 
Giganteum in October or November, are particularly 
recommended. 
Most varieties of Lilies do well when grown com¬ 
paratively cool. Moderate watering is necessary until 
the pots are nicely filled with roots, then an ample 
supply is needed. After potting plunge the pots level 
to the rim in ashes in a frame or cool cellar. As freez¬ 
ing weather approaches fill around the pots with leaves 
or litter. When the root-system has developed and 
top-growth starts, bring into a moderate temperature. 
Harrisi, Fairy Isle (Easter Lily). Bermuda 
grown. The best type for very early forcing.
