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, as nearly all plants should be for 
best effects. Lilies require rich soil, with plenty of 
moisture, but well drained, and make a grand show 
planted among rhododendrons or other shrub ever- 
greens or in a deciduous shrub border. For best effects, 
Lilies and Trilliums should be planted in masses of 
hundreds, if not thousands.
