CONSIDER THE LILIES 35 



It is not possible to lay down any hard and fast 

 rules, but good, sound bulbs and a common-sense at- 

 tention to a few elementary details are the essentials. 

 Several kinds of Lilies present no more difficulties 

 under cultivation than do Narcissi and Tulips; never- 

 theless in most gardens to maintain Lilies in good 

 health new soil or removal to a new site is necessary 

 every few years. 



The following species will be found to thrive and 

 give satisfaction in any and every garden in tem- 

 perate climes with the sine qua non that sound 

 bulbs only be planted: L. tigrinum, L. umbellatum, 

 L. Hansonii, L. pardalinum, L. superbum, L. candidum, 

 L. croceum, L. Henryi, L. regale, L. Sargentiae L. 

 auratum, L. speciosum, L. testaceum, and L. Thayerae.
