Since the introduction of Lilium Regale, lilies 
have become increasingly popular. Now everyone 
wants some of these stately, beautiful fragrant 
flowers in their garden. We have priced them 
moderately so you may have them, too. Remem¬ 
ber, once established, they prefer to be left undis¬ 
turbed. 
The lilies offered are all hardy and of easy 
culture and will do well in almost every section of 
the United States. They are Gardenville grown 
and will be sent in time for planting this fall. 
An ideal soil for liles and for all bulbs which 
remain in the garden over winter, is one which is 
sufficiently porous to permit fast drainage of 
winter water but rich enough in humus to retain 
moisture for the plants during the summer. The 
soil should be deep and well tilled as lilies are 
planted deep and the roots feed deep. Heavy soils 
may be improved by liberal additions of sand 
and leafmold. Wherever possible avoid the use 
of manures in fertilizing lilies. A mulch of leafmold 
from deciduous trees will retain moisture and pro¬ 
vide just the right plant food lilies need.
