PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Faded flowers should be removed, most varieties will bloom repeatedly in one season 
if they are not allowed to go to seed. For winter protection which is necessary only 
in the North, cover the plants first with brush and when the ground begins to freeze 
put straw or leaves over the brush. The latter is to keep an air space between 
cover and plants. 
Palm Lily. Yucca filamentosa. A very 
hardy plant, resists cold and drought. 4 
ft. tall of tropical appearance, with ever¬ 
green leaves, developing into dense 
clumps. Creamy white bell shaped blos¬
