Hardy Varieties 
So well known that to mention their beauty and untility 
seems futile. A few simple, yet very important rules to 
grow them successfully should be carefully observed. 
First, provide adequate drainage and this must be ade¬ 
quate. Secondly, the bulbs of most varieties require 
some shade while at the same time allowing the flower 
stalk to reach the sunlight. Thirdly, select proper varie¬ 
ties, we will gladly help you in this case. Lilies are not 
like tulip bulbs, all grown in one country under one and 
the same conditions, but are gathered together from 
many foreign countries. They all have different habits 
and flowers, and ripen off at different times of the year; 
therefore, orders for Lilies cannot always be filled at one 
time, many arrive too late for autumn planting, thus 
necessitating carrying over the bulbs until spring. Those 
marked (F) should be planted in the fall only; those 
marked (SF) may be planted in spring or fall, preferably 
the latter; all the others are for spring delivery.

sary to grow Lilies to perfection.
