or third season. Lilies require well drained soil, and with the exception of a few kinds 

 such as L. superbum and L. tigrinum do not do well in heavy soils. While lilies do 

 best if the soil is comparatively rich the bulbs suffer if manure comes in contact with 

 them, hence if manure is used it should be thoroughly incorporated with the soil or 

 applied as a top dressing. Lily bulbs should be planted comparatively deep as they 

 will not be so subject to frost and they will do better in hot weather than if the bulbs 

 were near the surface. Lilies may be planted either in the fall or spring.
