GRASSYFORK HARDY WATER LILIES 
HARDY LILIES are unexcelled for planting in natural ponds, lakes or in still pools 
along a river or stream-bank, and will beautify the most unattractive bit of water 
provided they are not planted in too deep water or near a cold inlet. Once established 
so that the crowns will not be injured by freezing or ice, they become a source of 
permanent beauty. They may be grown in the smallest of pools and in tubs. 
The hybridist has obtained excellent results with Hardy Lilies in developing color, 
quality, size, symmetry, fragrance of flowers, and growing qualities of the plants. 
The flowers embrace all the colors from purest white, delicate shell-pink, deep rose- 
pink to richest reds, yellows, and combinations of red and yellow. There is, however, 
no blue Hardy Lily. For this color one must go to the Tropical Lilies. Another con¬ 
trast between Tropical and Hardy Lilies is that the blooms of the former are borne 
on stems well above the water, whereas those of the hardy lilies float or are raised 
only slightly. 
Hardy Lilies may be planted any time from the start of growth in the spring (about 
April 1st until the last week of August). It is inadvisable to attempt a planting 
before or after these dates. 
Plant Hardy Lily roots at a slight angle, pressing the butt end deeply into the soil 
with the growing tip covered about an inch. The following varieties, both recent 
introductions and old standard sorts, we consider the best for results. We list these 
varieties by color, rather than by alphabetical arrangement. Our Lilies are Northern 
grown and therefore exceptionally hardy.
