The varieties we offer 

 are not difficult to grow 

 in the home-garden. Plant 

 them with hardy peren- 

 nials or in front of a shrub 

 border. 



In setting out your Lily bulbs, be sure to dig the holes large enough; absolutely 

 essential for all Lilies is a well-drained location. They will grow in the sun, but 

 light shade is better, with a ground-cover over the roots to keep the soil moist.
