Lilies, Hardy Varieties 
With the exception of Lilium candidum , which 
seems to prefer an open position, most Lilies thrive 
best when planted in a semi-shaded situation where 
the ground can be kept cool and moist by the pro¬ 
tection of shrubs and a carpet of lawn-grass cuttings. 
Planted among shallow-rooting perennials or rhodo¬ 
dendrons, they find a congenial situation both as to 
soil and shelter. The bulbs should be planted from 
6 to 8 inches deep, with a little sand or sphagnum 
moss under the case of each bulb. L. candidum, 
superbum, tigrinum, and pardalinum can be supplied 
early from home-grown stock. Japan Lilies do not 
arrive until about December 1, sometimes too late 
for fall delivery; in such cases they will be held 
by us until time for spring planting, which is fully 
as satisfactory as fall planting. European Lilies are 
not carried in stock, and can be supplied only on 
special orders, which must be received before 
August 1. This group includes only those varieties 
easiest to manage.
