How to Plant and Grow 
Lilies 
Lilies will grow, bloom, and do well if 
planted in any good garden soil. Most 
Lilies must be planted deep; from 4 to 
7 inches being the proper depth. 
Cover the space to be used with well 
rotted manure or good commercial fer¬ 
tilizer, and spade the bed deeply. If 
soil is too hard or contains too much 
clay, some fine clean sand may be 
mixed with it while spading. Level the 
bed with a rake or fork, pulverizing 
the clods, and plant the bulbs with a 
trowel or small spade. Depth should be 
governed by the size of bulb being 
planted. A good general rule is to plant 
deep enough so that the top of the 
bulb is 41/2 inches below the surface 
of the soil. 
A mulch of peat moss is desirable 
after the shoots are up and growing 
nicely. A layer about an inch in thick¬ 
ness spread over the surface of the 
ground will help in preserving moisture, 
and in keeping down weeds. Lilies like 
plenty of moisture but too much water 
settling around the roots will cause the 
bulb to rot. Staking is desirable for some 
of the tall growing varieties which bear 
heavy heads of bloom. Winter protec¬ 
tion is not necessary as a rule, except in 
very severe climates. A mulch of straw 
or leaves will be beneficial during long, 
extremely cold winters, but should not 
be applied until the ground has frozen 
solid. Lilies handled in 
this manner are sure to 
grow and produce abun¬ 
dant bloom.
