L 1 1 1 U ITI —Summer-Flowering Lilies 



Lilies are among the most beautiful hardy garden plants. They are easy to 

 grow and give a wonderful effect yet they take little space tucked away among 

 perennials in the border where their towering spikes reign supreme. Take care 

 to plant them just as early in the spring as possible and that means March or 

 April in the vicinity of Philadelphia. Follow the planting depth as given under 

 each variety.
