LILIES 
So well known that to men¬ 
tion their beauty and utility 
seems futile. A few simple, yet 
very important, rules to grow 
them successfully should be 
carefully observed. First, pro¬ 
vide adequate drainage and this 
must be adequate. Secondly, the 
bulbs of most varieties require 
some shade while at the same 
time allowing the flower stalk 
to reach the sunlight. Thirdly, 
select proper varieties; we will 
gladly help you in this case.

very graceful lily, growing 2

shaped, white with reddish 
brown shading on exterior, 
tips of petals elegantly recurv¬ 
ing. It is hardy. Very fragrant.

Regal Lily). It is absolutely 
hardy, and is excellent for
