Enchanting LILIES for Your Garden 

Lilium formosanum : 
Lilium regale 
Regal Lily 

Speciosum rubrum Tigri num—Tiger Lily 
Show Lily 
Lilies are as easy to grow as any other type of bulbs if planted at the recommended depth in good 
garden soil. Manure, except if thoroughly rotted, never should be mixed with the soil where they are 
planted. However, they like a winter soil mulch of well-rotted manure which is taken off in early spring. 
A porous, well drained soil rich in humus is important. They are showy garden plants preferring partial 
shade to full sun and, if given proper treatment, will last for many, many years.
