Lilies 
No class of hardy bulbs is more desirable than this, the cultivation presenting no obstacles even in 
the simplest garden. The 'ground should be carefully dug and abundantly supplied with well-rotted 
cow manure, planting the bulbs six inches deep, after which they require very little care or attention, 
except to occasionally stir the soil and keep free from weeds. To secure best results the bulbs should be 
planted in the fall.
