Hardy Garden Lily Bulbs 
Lilies are easily grown in any good, well-drained garden soil 
and when once established will increase in beauty each year. 
Lily bulbs differ greatly in size according to variety; some 
are 1 in. across, others 3 in. or more. We supply the sizes 
that will give the best results. In planting, a general rule to 
follow is, cover bulbs with soil to the depth of three times 
their greatest diameter.
