HARDY LILIES for fall Planting

Lilies are an important 



feature of the summer 



garden. They have a 



patrician air about them 



that no other flower can 



quite duplicate. 



TIGER LILY 



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.
