To the Lily must be awarded the first place amongst nardy bulbs ; their beauty and fragrance are unequaled by any other class of plants, and even surpass the rich- est exotics for size, form, and coloring. The genus embraces a vast number of species ; we, however, confine our list to such as are of easy culture, and give the best results with the least care. They sliould be planted deep, covering the bulb with at least 6 inches of soil, and when hard sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves or litter should be placed over them ; this should be removed in spring, when danger from hard frost is past. The soil best suited for them is a deep, light loam, but good results may be had in any good garden soil. They do grandly in a semi- shaded position, or planted among shrubbery, and in all cases it is well to mulch around the roots. Many sorts are now offered at such low prices that liberal plantings can be made at little expense ; it is only when planted in clumps of a dozen to a hundred that they show to the best advantage. When grown in pots, the best soil is sandy peat, but they will flower finely in a light, rich mixture.
