THE EASTER LILY IN NORTHERN CLIMATES. 19 A summer mulch is considered as important in the culture of this lily as a winter one. Most lilies grow where there is a soil cover of some kind — many of them where this cover is a grassy one and others where the ground is just as effectively protected by brusii. under and between which the lilies grow, sticking their heads above the canopy to flower. Lilium longifor'um^ with the forms of which we are dealing, pro- duces a mass of roots from the stem ab...ove the bulb and near the sur- face of the ground. For the best results these roots, as well as those from the bulb, must have good conditions for development and must not be disturbed. This condition is admirably produced by a manure mulch, which not onh^ furnishes plenty of fertility but prevents the soil from drying out and baking and also equalizes its temperature to a remarkable degree. One should keep in mind that this lily, like most other lilies, likes to have its feet moist and cool and protected both summer and winter, but its head must be in full light.
