HOW TO GROW THEM 
Location —The hardy border is an ideal location for 
Lilies, as they need sunshine on their tops and shade 
about their roots. The foliage of surrounding low 
shrubbery and plants provides shade and shows the 
flowers to best advantage. 
Soil —Should consist of 2 parts good black loam and 
1 part well-rotted leaf mold. In planting, the bulbs 
should be surrounded by a cushion of clean sand to 
provide drainage and prevent rotting.
