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 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.
