Iiilium Tigrinum Giganteum 
LILIES 
Lilies are benefited by shade about the roots and stems, 
but do not do well with shade about their heads, so 
should be planted among fairly dwarf growing shrubs, 
ferns or herbaceous plants to give the mature stem the 
protection it craves from the too great heat of the sun 
and to keep the ground around the bulb more or less 
cool. 
The soil for lilies should be fibrous and rooty, to 
which should be added some leaf mold or peat, and 
should be deeply dug. Sharp sand placed around the bulb 
insures good drainage. Charcoal and sulphur sprinkled 
about in planting tend to ward off attacks of worms and 
blue mold. 
Plant 1 foot apart and at depths specified below. Water 
only lightly until they are well rooted, but liberally when 
about to bloom; keep free from aphis or green fly at all 
times.
