Hardy Native Lilies, TriUiums 
and other Bulbous Plants 
This group of phmts is one of thr most indispensable 
for showy effects, partirularly tlw Trillinnis mu) Liliunis, 
The former blossom in earliest spriitjr. and <leli^ht in ricii. moist, shady 
locations, while the latter thrive in tlic nwn' open pbu'cs and produce 
most gorgeous results in summer wlien 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 sli»»w planted among Rho- 
dodendrons or other shrub everifreens or in a deciduous shru)> border. 
For best effects IJlies and Trilliums sbonld be planted in masses of 
hundreds, if not thousands. This applies more or less to most orna- 
mental planting of bulbs and flowers. Klaine Goodale has sung of 
Lilium superbum, the splendid "Turk's Cup Lily," 
"Tall rows of blindintr bennly, as Vestals pnrtt they hold 
In each a blaze of scarlet, half blotted out with gohl." 
The sizes following the vames indicate the vaHiition in heights at- 
tained h>i thene plants in their wild state. Cultivated, they often attain 
greater size.
