Lilium superbum 
Htardy elias 
(FOR HARDY WATER LILIES SEE PAGE 49) 
Most lilies will succeed in any light, sandy or loamy soil if sufficiently enriched and properly drained. 
Decayed peat and leaf mold are often successfully nixed with the other soil. Well-rotted cow manure 
Lilium speciosum 
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 plantings remember that lilies 
object to frequent removal; they should be left undisturbed several years. Size of bulbs measured by 
circumference.
