Hardy Garden Lilies 



Most of the Lilies make stem roots near 

 the surface and for this reason they should 

 be planted among other plants or mulched 

 with about 3 inches of lawn clippings or 

 Peat Moss during the summer to protect 

 the roots from the rays of the sun. Lilies 

 are perfectly at home in the shrubbery or 

 perennial border: however, the flower spikes 

 should have access to the sun. Cover stem 

 rooting kinds about three times their great- 

 est diameter, placing a quantity of sand at 

 the base of the bulb to insure good drain- 

 age.
