GENERAL LIST OF HARDY LILIES. 



Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before October and November (the best time to plant them). 

 Where the ground is liable to freeze up before the late lilies arrive it should be mulched with 6 or 8 inches of leaves or 

 manure so that the bulbs may be planted on arrival.
