Lilies for English gardensA guide for amateursCompiled from information published lately in "The Garden", with the addition of some original chapters . LILIUM JAPONICUM 13 own garden. If it does well, let it alone till it showssigns of deterioration. Try some in manured ground,and some in the natural soil; some in sun, and somein shade; some watered, some left dry. For theirgeneral health it may be assumed that a sheltered place,where the Lilies would be protected from bitingwinds, will generally suit them best, for it has beenobserved that where the dreaded Lily disease attacksthem, those that were partly sheltered by shrubs andtrees escaped, while the ones in the open weredestroyed. There are two forms of the White Lily; the lessgood one thin and starry, with petals not much turnedback, the better one with broad, stoutly ribbed petalsstrongly recurved. For replanting most Lilies, the rule is to do it assoon as the leaves turn yellow, but the best growersadvise, in the case of L. candidumj to replant beforethis, soon after the flowers are over and before theleaves show any signs of yellowing.
