Tuberose 
Lilium Auratum, “The Queen of Lilies” 
HARDY OUTDOOR LILIES 
For Spring Planting 
Every garden should have a fair display of Lilies. Their graceful habits, 
wonderful beauty, fragrance and hardiness make them very valuable. 
CULTURE. All Lilies should be planted from 6 to 8 inches deep, the 
Japanese varieties even 12 inches deep. The bulbs themselves should be 
surrounded by sand to facilitate drainage. No decomposed manure should 
come in contact with the bulb, but may be placed 4 to 6 inches under¬ 
neath. All loose-petaled bulbs should be planted on their side instead of 
upright. Heavy fertilizing or cultivation is not necessary. However, they 
insist upon good drainage and heavy mulching. They like partial shade and 
appear best when planted in groups against a background of low shrubs or 
scattered through the perennial borders.
