HARDY LILIES 



Lilies commence flowering in June and with the various species maintain a continuous and unbroken suc- 

 cession of the shrubbery border. Most Lily Bulbs, being of late maturity, are not ready before October, November 



and December (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.
