Hardy Garden Lilies 
No garden is complete without at least a few of these stately beauties, the blooming season of which may be extended from 
June to September if the proper varieties are planted. Large plantings of L. auratum, L. regale, and the Speciosum varieties are 
recommended, and also the handsome early-blooming varieties of L. elegans and the American L. superbum. They thrive in any 
well-drained garden soil, but do best in the hardy border or among shrubbery. Plant bulbs twice their depth. 
The Japanese Lilies are especially attractive when scattered through the hardy border in clumps of three.
