HARDY LILIES 
The beautiful fragrant Lilies are considered by many too difficult to grow. However, the hardy varieties which 
we list are no harder to grow than a tulip. They blossom in mid-summer when fine flowers are most welcome. 
CULTURE. Select a place to plant that is well drained. The soil should be spaded thoroughly 15 to 18 inches 
deep. Do this early in the fall as lilies cannot be moved until late and it is hard to work the ground late in the 
season, especially after we have had light frost. Enrich the soil with leaf mold and well-rotted manure in equal pro¬ 
portions. Set the bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep, depending on the size, tilting to a 45-degree angle. To insure good 
drainage pack sand around the bulb. Place about four inches of mulch over the bed.
