Selected Lilies and Gladiolus 
LILIUMS 
“Hardy Lilies” 
The majority of lilies require a soil rich in 
humus or decayed vegetable matter. Plant the 
bulbs at least 4 inches deep. As a preventative 
against rot, it is advisable to place an inch or 
two of sharp sand under the bulbs when plant¬ 
ing. They are seen at their best in colonies of 
from 3 to 6 of a kind among the shrubbery, 
where their root system enjoys some shade, 
while their foliage and flowers can revel in the 
sunshine that so enhances their beauty. The 
bulbs we ofifer are all select, top-grade quality.
