EASTER LILIES 
We offer two varieties that are ideal for indoor growing. Use a 5- or 
6-in. pot; place bulb loosely in rich, porous soil so that it is barely 
covered and the soil gently but firmly set. Keep in a cool, dark but 
airy place, free from frost, until bulbs are well rooted; afterward 
bring to the light and grow on in a temperature of not more than 
60° F. Ideal garden subjects in frost-free locations. In other sections, 
after having bloomed in the house, they may be planted outdoors 
for flowering during the late summer. Admired by everyone.
