THOMAS J. GREY COMPANY’S BULB CATALOGUE, FALL, 1920 13 
......mm.........mu...... 
LILIES FOR OPEN GROUND 
With few exceptions they prefer a light, well-drained, loamy soil and partial shade. Deep planting is recom¬ 
mended, from 6 to 12 or more inches, according to variety, and a covering of leaves or some litter to prevent the 
frost reaching the bulbs, as it is absolutely necessary for their success that the bulb be protected from freezing and 
thawing. Some varieties are ready in August, and others not before October or November, and to insure the 
planting of the late arrivals the place should be covered to keep the frost out.
