Hardy Lilies 
The beautiful fragrant lilies are considered by many too difficult to grow. 
However, the hardy varieties which we list are no harder to grow than a tulip. They 
blossom in mid-summer when fine flowers are most welcome. 
CULTURE. Select a place to plant that is well drained. The soil should be 
spaded thoroughly 15 to 18 inches deep. Do this early in the fall as lilies cannot 
be moved until late and it is hard to work the ground late in the season, especially 
after we have had a light frost. Enrich the soil with leaf mold and sheep manure 
in equal proportions. Set the bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep, depending on the size, 
tilting to a 45-degree angle. To insure good drainage pack sand around the bulb. 
Place about four inches of mulch over the bed. See page 17 for Day Lilies.

than any other variety. The berries are dark red to the 
center, of a uniform size and the texture firm, requiring 
picking not more than twice a week, A deliciously mild
