Lilies, continued. 
greater number do much better in a light soil. Lilies are, as a rule, planted in autumn, and 
no doubt that is the better time for planting a large number, especially if they be imported 
bulbs or kept long out of soil. But for strong bulbs, taken direct from the nursery and 
planted without being allowed to dry, they can be planted in spring with good results—as we 
have proved many times. The soil for the Lily bed should be deep and well worked over 
with fine, well-decayed manure. The bulbs should be set about 4 inches deep, but not 
allowed to come in contact with the rich soil. Place cither sand or leaf-mold around each 
bulb; this will help protect the bulbs, and the roots can easily reach the rich soil beneath.
