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. If planted properly they will ' 

 bloom just as satisfactorily as if planted in the 

 fall. Plant, if possible, in a sandy spot for mix 

 sand or finely sifted ashes with the soilj which . 

 has previously been well manured. Dig hole 

 ID 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.

Lily 



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. 

 Keep in a comparatively warm temperature, and 

 as the weather becomes warmer, gradually 

 harden the plants off and place in their per- 

 manent position about the middle of May; or the 

 roots may be planted in the place where they are 

 to bloom in early May, but, of course, will bloom 

 later than those started indoors. 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. 

 Roots may be kept in dry soil .but it is not 

 necessary.
