Planting Lily Bulbs 
Please note the delivery date for the dif- 
ferent varieties which depends upon the time 
the bulbs mature. Unless you are prepared 
to care for those received late we suggest 
that you buy in spring as the bulbs are so 
perishable that we cannot accept their 
return. Cover the soil where Lilies are to 
be planted with hay, straw, etc., to keep 
the frost out until planting time.
