M OST Lilies will succeed in any light, 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 after 
years by top dressing. Fresh manure must be avoided. 
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 undisturbed 
several years. 
Prices include delivery to you.
