HARDY BULBS FOR FALL PLANTING 
SECTION 2 
Hardy Bulbs for Fall Planting 
All bulbs described and listed in the following pages should be 
planted in the fall. Indeed, some, such as Spanish, Dutch and Eng¬ 
lish Irises, Daffodils, Tulips, and some varieties of Lily bulbs can 
only be planted in the fall. (The Madonna or Candidum Lily should 
only be planted during August, and not later than September; they 
cannot be planted successfully in the spring.) Some lily varieties 
such as the Regales, Auratum, and the Japanese Speciosum, may 
also be planted in early spring, but fall planting is best. 
Grow More Lilies! 
“I placed it in the earth—this bulb of mine— 
And from its narrow prison house of night 
It struggled forth to reach the air and light 
And as it rose and blossomed to the sight 
Its absolute perfection seemed divine.” 
LILIUM REGALE 
Introduced from Western China by Mr. E. H. Wilson. It is hardly 
necessary to sing the praises of Lilium Regale, for is it not gener¬ 
ally regarded as the finest of all garden Lilies of recent introduc¬ 
tion? It is very bold and vigorous. They should be covered in early 
spring against late frosts.
