HARDY LILIUMS (Lilies) 
We offer in this catalogue only those varieties of Lilies which are 
suitable for Spring planting, that is, up to June 1st. 
For a complete list including those which should be planted in the 
Autumn, please refer to our bulb catalogue. 
Most Lilies thrive best with their heads in the sun and roots in a 
shady, cool, moist spot but with good drainage Lilies grow well in the 
flower border, among shrubs, or out of ground cover plants, etc. 
It is essential that they he provided with a suitable background against 
which to show off their stately beauty. 
When planting the bulbs, a liberal amount of fine sand should be 
spread under and around them, bonemeal and sheep manure mixed 
is a safe food and leafmold is desirable. A blanket, about 1 inch thick 
of peat moss over the surface will retain the moisture and keep 
the roots cool.
