HARDY LILIES 
Many of the late flowering Lily bulbs are not ready before the end of November. Where the ground is 
liable to freeze, we advise the preparation of the Lily beds or borders early in autumn, covering with 4 to 6 
inches of leaves or other litter to prevent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. 
See that they have a well-drained position, and without exception they prefer a half shady, moist posi¬ 
tion, protected against the hot sun. 
The ground must be thoroughly spaded to a depth of 18 inches before planting Lilies and must be en¬ 
riched by adding equal portions of leafmold, peat and rotten manure. 
Plant the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep, varieties like Speciosum require at least 8 inches, putting some sand 
under and around the bulbs to insure proper drainage. 
Cover the beds with 6 to 8 inches of leaves or other litter which must be removed in late Spring.
