Hardy Perennial Plants 
LILIUM • Lilies 
A garden is not complete without Hardy Lilies, as they do 
exceedingly well in herbaceous borders. The varieties listed can 
be planted in early spring, from 6 to 8 inches deep, the Japan 
varieties even 12 inches deep. The bulbs should be completely 
enveloped in sand; no manure should come in contact with them, 
but may be placed 4 to 6 inches underneath. All Ioose-petaled 
bulbs should be planted on their side instead of upright. Cover 
with leaves or litter during winter.
