Prepc 



^Jaration of Soil. Lilies are best in rich 

 moisture retaining soil. Yet, they must be well drained. Very 

 heavy soil is not very~ successful for lilies. Well-rotted rnanure 

 may be mixed with the soil and dug in deeply. As lilies are 

 planted deep, the soil should be prepared to a depth of about 

 twelve inches. 



Plant from 4-6 inches deep. Many planters place a small 

 amount of spagnum moss beneath each bulb, especially with 

 the auratum, candidum and speciosum varieties. 



NOTE. All our lily bulbs are of the largest size obtainable 

 and should not be confused with smaller bulbs that are of 

 course much lower in price and quality.
