develop into a finer plant. After the ground freezes 
cover a new planting with some straw, leaves or other 
litter to prevent heaving roots out of ground by the 
action of the frost. In the spring remove covering and 
cultivate frequently from April to September to insure 
the finest flower from year to year. 
THE CUT FLOWERS 
When cutting Peonies always leave two or more leaves 
on the stalk from which you cut, and it is better not 
to cut all the flowers from any plant. 
Leave some leaves on each stalk and some flowers on 
each plant. It pays. 
“LOVELY LILIES” 
(The Hardy Ones) 
Hardy Liliums occupy a very important place among 
the hardy plants as they are very effective in the flower 
or shrubbery border and do well in such situations, as 
they like some shade and ground cover that will keep 
their roots cool and moist. 
Lilies revel in leaf mould and granulated peat moss 
and it can be used without fear of harm. 
If soil is heavy or sticky, mix sand freely with soil 
and place some around the bulb when planting. 
Liliums should be planted at least twice the depth of 
the bulb and the stem rooting varieties still deeper.
