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 perish- 

 able 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.
