Michell’s Hardy Garden Lilies 
( 
A garden is not complete without a planting of Hardy Lilies. They do exceedingly well in the herbaceous border. The varieties 
listed can be planted in the early spring months, and it is recommended that they be planted among hardy perennials, as the shade from 
the surrounding plants is necessary for their welfare. 
See color insert facing page 88 
Cultural Directions. All Hardy Lilies should be planted from 
6 to 10 inches deep. The bulbs should be completely enveloped in 
sand and no manure should come in contact with them, but may be 
placed 4 to 6 Inches underneath. All loose-petaled bulbs should be 
planted on their side instead of upright. Cover with leaves or litter 
during winter. Our Bulb-growing Guide gives full instructions on the 
growing of Lilies; ask for free copy.
