Get Permanent Results by Using 
American Lilies and Trilliums 
For Woodlands, Rhododendron Beds and Garden Borders 
Lilium carolinianum. The only eastern 
species with sweet-scented flowers 
OUR native Lilies are tlie 
most useful for real per- 
manence. Many exotic spe- 
cies grow weak and die out 
after a few seasons. 
For shrubberies and herbaceous 
borders, and especially for the Rho- 
dodendron bed, and the open edge 
of the woodlands, the native species 
and some exotics are unexcelled, 
grow stronger year by year, and 
produce gorgeous effects. 
For best results, plant in 
September or October, 4 to 
5 inches deep, in rich loam. 
Lilium grayi and L. cana- 
dense will stand considerable mois- 
ture. The finest show is made by 
planting five to ten bulbs a few 
inches apart in a clump, the 
clumps 2 to 4 feet apart, according 
^ to conditions, hundreds or thou- 
sands of bulbs often being none 
too many to use. L. superbum is a 
tall species, often reaching 6 to 8 
feet ; L. canadense comes next, and 
L. grayi from i>2 to 3 feet ; so judg- 
ment should be used in placing. 
Lilies enjoy rich soil, well drained, 
and partial shade is desirable.
