Hardy Lilies 
LILIES are among the most beautiful and ornamental flowers, and easy to 
grew in average garden soil where good drainage is provided. The varieties we 
list are hardy and provide a succession of bloom throughout the season. The 
stem-rooting varieties should be planted 8 to 10 inches deep, and those which 
only send out roots from base of bulb are better not covered over 3 inches in 
light soil, and where there is clay 2 inches will be better. 
The roots should not be removed from the bulbs before planting as this may 
cause them to lie dormant an entire season.
