Hardy edb 
Many of the late flowering Lily bulbs are not ready before the end of November. 
Where the ground is liable to freeze, we advise the preparation of the Lily beds or 
borders early in autumn, covering with 4 to 6 inches of leaves or other litter to pre- 
vent the ground freezing until the bulbs arrive. 
See that they have a well-drained position, and without exception they prefer a 
half shady, moist position, protected against the hot sun. 
The ground must be thoroughly spaded to a depth of 18 inches before planting 
Lilies and must be enriched by adding equal portions of leafmold, peat and rotten 
manure. 
Plant the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep, varieties like Speciosum require at least 8 inches, 
putting some sand under and around the bulbs to insure proper drainage. 
Cover the beds with 6 to 8 inches of leaves or other litter which must be removed in 
late Spring.
