Hardy Lilies 
Easy to grow in good, well-drained but sliglitly moist garden loam and, once 
established, will increase in beauty each year Most all Lilies delight in a sunny 
location, but mulch so that the hot sun does not reach the soil around the base 
of the plant. .\11 varieties offered are highly decorative in the border, while the 
dwarfer ones also give a charming touch of beauty to the rock garden. Lily bulbs 
differ greatly in size according to variety, some 1 in. across, others 3 or more; we 
supply the sizes which will give the best results.
