Hardy Native Lilies, Trilliums 
and other Bulbous Plants 
Tliis group of piiints is otic of \hv most iiuUspcnsable 
for showy effects, pjirtiinilarly tlu- 'rrilliuins aii<i Liliuins. 
Tlie former blossom in earliest sprinp, an<l <k'Ii?;lit in ricli. moist, shady 
locutions, while the latter thrive in the more open places and produce 
most };orf?eous results in summer when planted in masses, as nearly all 
jMants should })e for best effects. Lilies retpiire rich soil, with plenty of 
jiH'isture, but well drained, and make a grrand show planted anionjr T{ho- 
(lodendrons or other slirub evertrreens or in a deci<hious shrni) border. 
For best effects Lilies and Trillinms slH>nld be planted in masses of 
hundreds, if not thousands. This applies more or less to most orna- 
mental platitinjjT of bulbs and flowers. Kbiine Goodale has sung of 
Lilium superbum, the splendid "Turk's Cap Lily," 
"Tall rows of bliniVnisi beauty, as Vi-stuls pure they hold 
In each a blaze of scsirlet, half blotted ont with gold." 
The sizea foUou iug the names indicate the I'ftriation in heights at- 
tained by these plants in their wild state. Cultivated, they often attain 
greater size.
