SECTION II Bulbs for Growing and Forcing Under Glass, in the Greenhouse, Con- servatory or Sunny Window LILIES Lilies should be potted immediately upon receipt if intended for growing in pots or for forcing. Tlie soil should be rich, the pot well drained. The bulb should be set about half-way below the surface or rim of the pot and lightly covered with soil. After potting, give a thorou>;h watering and set outside in a coldframe or shady situation ; then cover with ashes or long straw. After they have stood from three weeks to a month, bring into the house, fill pot with soil and force gently. After showing buds, a higher temperature may be used. Lilium Jamesii This is a new Lily raised by Mr. R. H. James, of Bermuda, and is an interme- diate cross between Lilium Harrisii and tlie Bermuda Lilium longijiorum. It resembles more the Lilium Harrisii, which it more nearly approaches in habit of plant and form of flower, inasmuch as the flower is nearly as large as Harrisii and much larger than Longifloruni ; the flowers, too, are thicker in petal and of much more substance, making it an excellent Lily for shipping purposes. It Is also practically free from disease. Last year we secured only five cases of 7- to 9-inch bulbs (1,000). We sent a case each to five leading growers, who weie so pleased with its appearance and growth, which was even (all starting at the same time), that they are all taking a large stock this season. Not one reported that he had thrown out more than ten, from all causes, others a good deal less. Owing to draught in Bermuda this season, and there being a shortage of nearly 50 per cent in the larger sizes of Harrisii. this Lily {Lilium Jamesii) will make an excellent substitute.
