General List of Hardy Lilies 



Lilies commence flowering in June and the various species maintain a continuous and unbroker. 

 bloom until autumn. They are also excellent subjects for the shrubbery border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late 

 maturity, are not ready before October and November (the best time to plant them). Where the ground is liable 

 to freeze up before the late lilies arrive it should be mulched with 6 or 8 inches of leaves op manure so the b i 

 be planted on arrival. // wanted by Parcel Post add postage at Zone |
