HARDY AMERICAN LILIES 
This group of plants is one of the most indispensable for showy effects. They thrive in the 
more open places and produce most gorgeous results in summer when planted in masses. Lilies 
require rich soil, with plenty of moisture, but well drained, and make a grand show planted among 
Rhododendrons or other shrub evergreens or in a deciduous shrub border.
