_Vibúrnum._ This is a good period to repot all the flowering plants of
this genus. For a full description of them, see _Green-house_, _March_.
The repotting is only intended for young plants that are wanted to grow
freely. When the _V. tìnus_ is much encouraged, it does not flower
profusely.
_Lìlium_, Lily. There are four species of this splendid genus kept in
the Green-house. It has always been our practice to repot them when they
begin to grow, though it is said by some that, when removed at that
time, they will not flower perfectly. They will not do to be kept above
a few weeks out of the ground, and we think they ought never to be kept
out any period. We place them here, that a choice may be made by the
cultivator of either of the periods, which is not material; observing in
either case, that excess of moisture is injurious while they are
dormant. _L. longiflòrum_ grows about one foot high, with one or more
flowers. _L. longiflòrum suavèolens_, is sweet-scented, and has only one
flower. _L. japònicum_ is the most magnificent, grows about two feet
high, with three or more flowers on one stem. _L. lancifòlium_; we
incline to class this with _L. speciòsum_, there being no apparent
distinction in any character. The flowers are all of the purest white.
They require from five to seven inch pots.
