HARDY LILIES 
Lily bulbs are ready during the Fall and early Winter. They should be out of the 
ground a minimum of time and you should send us your order in advance to send you the 
stock when dug, cured and ready for shipment. 
Spring planting is also satisfactory if the bulbs have been kept in good condition. If 
you are re-vamping your lily beds in the Spring, let us hear from you and we may be able 
to furnish your requirements at that time. 
It is important to plant lily bulbs at their proper depth. Some are stem-rooting and 
others root merely at the base. We specify the correct depth for planting in this catalog. 
/ 
Good drainage is necessary. The lily bed should be prepared to a depth of about two 
feet, providing a loose, friable mixture of loam, gravel, sand and leafmold with a bottom 
of stones and rocks. Care in preparation of the soil will be well repaid. 
While lilies love the sun, they are greatly benefited by suitable ground covers to form 
a protective ground mulch. We recommend the following: 
I 
Achilleas, Ajuga reptans, Betonica grandiflora, many of the Campanula species, the 
Dicentra Formosa which forms a most delightful shade loving ground cover, the Fragaria, 
or trailing strawberries, Helleboris, or Christmas Rose, Incarvillea (Hardy Gloxinias) 
Polemoniums and Potentillas, Ranunculus repens (single and double) Trollius Hybrids and 
many of the Veronica Species. 
Shrubs may also be planted advantageously for ground covers, among the most suitable 
being Abelias, Rhododendrons, and many of the low growing Cotoneasters. 
Do not expect too much from your Lily planting the first year. A lily bulb must 
establish itself and build a strong root system before the top shows the finest growth.
