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 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, 
o the bulbs may be planted on arrival.
