HARDY LILIES 
Lilies are considered by many to be the most beautiful and ornamental of cultivated plants. Their stately habit and variously col- 
ored flowers, often very fragrant, make them almost indispensable for the hardy flower garden, as well as for growing in the greenhouse. 
Many oi a may be effectively naturalized and practically all are valuable for use in the mixed perennial border. Most of them will 
grow very well in pots, and by using several varieties, a succession of bloom may be had over a long period. 
All Lilies are wild plants and do not take kindly to heavy fertilizing or cultivation. They must have good drainage and they enjoy 
a low ground-cover which shades the soil in which they grow. They should be planted deeply, at least four times the diameter of the 
bulb, below the surface of the soil.
