HOW TO GROW THEM 
The soil best adapted to Lilies consists of two parts 
good black loam and one part well-rotted leaf- 
mold, thoroughly mixed with a small amount of sharp 
sand. It is advisable to dig out the soil to a depth 
of at least 18 inches, and replace it with the above 
mixture. Good drainage is essential and bulbs should 
be completely surrounded with a cushion of clean sand 
to prevent rotting. 
As a general rule, Lily bulbs should be covered 
from 3 to 4 times their own depth. The finest effects 
are obtained by grouping three to six bulbs 
of a kind together. The hardy border is an 
ideal location, for Lilies need sunshine on 
their tops, and shade about their roots, and 
the foliage of the surrounding shrubs and 
plants shows the flowers to best ad¬ 
vantage. A mulch of leaves or peat 
moss should be provided in the fall.

grant flowers of delicate ivory-white,
