Hardy Garden Lilies 



The following hardy Lilies generally come in 

 quite late in the fall, so that it is not always con- 

 venient to plant at that time. We carefully store 

 these bulbs over winter and send them out early 

 in the spring. Plant, if possible, in a sandy spot 

 which has previously been well manured. Dig 

 hole 10 inches deep and place an inch of sand in 

 the bottom; then put in the bulb and cover with 

 soil. No further care should be necessary.

Border of Brilliant Cannas 



Brilliant Cannas 



Due to great improvements made in recent 

 years, Cannas have become very popular for 

 large beds and mixed borders. The foliage is 

 quite ornamental and the blooms make a mass 

 of color from July until frost. 



Start the roots indoors in pots in early March 

 and plant in their permanent position about the 

 middle of May; or the roots may be planted in 

 the place where they are to bloom in early May. 

 Set plants i >^ to 2 feet apart in a sunny location. 



Dig roots after first killing frost, cut off the 

 foliage, and store in a cool, dry place over winter.
