MICHELL’S HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
A garden is not complete without a planting of Hardy Lilies; they do exceedingly well in the herbaceous border; the varieties 
listed can be planted in the early Spring months and it is recommended that they be planted among hardy perennials, as the shade from 
the surrounding plants is necessary for their welfare. 
Cultural Directions. —All Hardy Lilies should be planted 
from 6 to 8 inches deep, the Japan varieties even 12 inches deep; 
the bulbs should be completely enveloped in sand, no manure 
should come in contact with the bulbs, but may be placed 4 to 
6 inches underneath. All loose petaled bulbs should be planted 
on their side instead of upright. Cover with leaves or litter during 
Winter. Our Bulb Growing Guide gives full instructions on the 
growing of Lilies; ask for free copy. 
If Lily Bulbs are wanted by Parcel Post, add 25c. per 
doz.for postage.
