Lilies are so beautiful, so fragrant, we are likely to think them too fine for the amateur to 
grow. But many are hardy, thrifty flowers, capable of surviving conditions which would over- 
come flowers much less beautiful Grow them in the border in small groups, with background 
where their beauty has a suitable setting 
Outdoor Culture. When planting Lilies out-of-docrs, see that they have a well-drained 
position, where they will be shaded from very hot sun. Such places can usually be found around 
the shrub borders, and in the hardy plant border. Never mix manure in the soil around Lilies, 
but enrich with S. G W. Co. Bulb Fertilizer or with bonemeal. Many varieties are termed ‘‘stem- 
rooters,”” that is, they develop roots on the stem up to 2 or 3 inches from the ground. These 
roots are voracious feeders, and on them depend greatly the number and size of flowers. When 
they appear, the plant should receive a top-dressing of gocd rich soil on which they can feed 
freely. Spade over the ground thoroughly to a depth of 18 inches before planting Lilies. Put 
some sand under cnd around ithe bulbs, and after covering protect with 6 to 8 inches of leaves 
or other litfer.

the occupation of France we cre dependent on bulbs grown in England. Plant 2 inches deep
