Garden Lilies c Lilium ) 
No garden is fully planted without a generous quota of Lilies, and where specially prepared beds are not 
available, they can be used to splendid advantage in combination with perennial groups, interspersing the 
late-flowering Lilies among early-flowering subjects such as lupines, Oriental poppies, Canterbury bells, and 
others that require a little bolstering after flowering, using the earlier-flowering Candidum and Regale among 
the late-flowering kinds, such as chrysanthemum, phlox, or in combination with delphiniums. The Lilies 
offered here are not difficult to grow, hut should have a good rich, deep soil that is well drained. In preparing 
the soil, barnyard manure should be used only if thoroughly decomposed. A winter mulch of this is also 
advised.
