LILIES 
No garden is complete without at least a few of these stately beauties, 
the blooming season of which may be extended from June to September 
if the proper varieties are planted. Large plantings of L. candidum, L. 
tigrinum, and the Speciosum varieties are recommended, and also the 
handsome, early blooming American varieties, L. elegans and L. super¬ 
bum. They thrive in any well-drained garden soil, but do best in the 
hardy border or among shrubbery. Plant bulbs twice their depth and 
when frost sets in, cover with 4 to 6 inches of leaves or litter, which 
should be removed in the Spring.
