LILIES, True (Lilium Species). Per. _|il'-i-um. 
Sow in pots, flats, or ground-beds, in a lath-house, a 
shaded greenhouse, or a lath-shaded cold-frame, using 
plenty of sand and leaf-mold in the soil. Top growth 
seldom appears until roots have become well develop- 
ed. The quicker-germinating species, marked with an 
asterisk (*) in the list below should be sown from 
March to June, about 4-inch deep (top growth ap- 
pears in 3 to 8 weeks). The slower sorts require a 
period of warmth followed by a period of cold before 
top growth will appear, and are thus best sown from 
July to September for germination the following 
spring. Cover about %-inch. After germination a light 
mulch of peat moss will assist in keeping the soil 
surface evenly moist. Most lilies will thrive in partial 
shade in a lime-free soil enriched with leaf-mold, kept 
moist but with really good drainage.
