us for several years with great satisfaction.

Cultural Notes on Lilies 
All Lilies prefer a bright, weli-drained location, 
although the degree of brightness is not as im- 
portant as drainage. Planting depth is most: im- 
portant. All of the Lilies offered on this page, 
with the exception of Madonna Lilies, are known 
as stem-rooting Lilies and should therefore be 
planted to a depth of at least 8 inches for the 
large bulbs and 6 inches for the smaller bulbs. 
In the case of jumbo Rubrum and Regale, a 
depth of 10 to 12 inches is satisfactory. But it 
is Important to know that they should be at least 
8 inches from the crown of the bulb to the soil 
surface. 
Madonna Lilies should be planted approxi- 
mately 3 to 4 inches deep. 
All quick-acting fertilizers should be avoided 
as well as the practice of using manure when 
planting the-bulbs. A top dressing of any good 
commercial fertilizer applied in early spring and 
just before flowering is most widely recom- 
mended, and where liquid manure can be ob- 
tained its use is also recommended twice or three 
times a season. Any of the good water soluble 
fertilizers are a good substitute for liquid ma- 
nure.
