HARDY LILIES 



Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various 

 species maintain a continuous and unbroken succession in 

 the shrubbery border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late ma- 

 turity, are not ready before October, November and Decem- 

 ber (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 or manure to keep it 

 from freezing, so the bulbs may be planted on arrival.
