HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
M OST Lilies will succeed in any light, sandy or loamy 
soil if sufficiently enriched and properly drained. De¬ 
cayed peat and leaf mold are often successfully mixed 
with the other soil. Well-rotted cow manure is, best, thor¬ 
oughly mixed in, followed in after years by top dressing. 
Fresh manure must be avoided. The bulbs should be set no less 
than 3 times their own depth and mulched heavily after the 
first frosts come, for winter protection. In locating these 
plantings remember that Lilies object to frequent removal ; 
they should be left undisturbed several years. 
We are offering no imported Japanese bulbs for the usually 
impractical fall sale, but will have them for early spring use. 
Our Lily prices include delivery.
