HARDY ULIES 
M ost Lilies will succeed in any lijiht, sandy or loamy soil if sufficiently enriched and 
properly drained. Decayed peat and leaf mold are often successfully mixed with the 
other soil. Well-rotted cow manure is best, thoroughly mixed in, followed in alter 
years by top dressing. Fresh manure must be avoided. _ j iu j 
In garden planting, the bulbs should be set no less than three times their own depth and 
mulched heavily after the first frosts come, for winter protection. In locating these plant¬ 
ings remember that Lilies object to frequent removal ; they should be left undisturoea 
several years. See our offer of Hardy Water Lilies—page 35.
