Hardy Lilies * Lilium 
No herbaceous or shrubbery border or wild garden is complete 
without a liberal representation of these most graceful and charm¬ 
ing flowers. For successful growing of Hardy Lilies, the chief 
requirement is a loose, well-manured soil, with some pure sand 
added under each bulb to further drainage and to prevent the 
bulbs from rotting. They should be planted 6 to 8 inches deep, 
and among plants with heavy foliage, like peonies, in order to 
keep the soil surrounding the bulbs cool. They should be left in 
the same location for three or four years without lifting, which 
should be done in September, the replanting to take place at once. 
The beds should be covered with leaves or litter during winter. 
Delivery of bulbs will be made in September, October, or spring.
