Garden Lilies 
Qa/ideu lilies 
For Lasting Beauty, Graceful Form and Delightful Fragrance 
Plant them throughout your garden as well as woodland border, paths and other natural settings which will enhance their 
beauty. We have tried to list only the varieties which are of easy culture, but we will be very glad to quote on any other 
varieties which might interest you. 
For depth of planting Lilies may broadly be put into two classes, those which depend on roots coming from stems above 
bulb (stem rooting), and those which root only from base of bulb (base rooting). Stem rooting bulbs should be planted deeply, 
base rooting at a more shallow depth. 
Stem rooting Lilies produce roots growing close to the surface. Best results will be obtained if you broadcast seed of low 
growing annuals to shade the surface and prevent the drying out of the soil. Use annuals that will give a mass of color all Summer.
