OTHER 
HARDY LILIES 
Lilies are so beautiful, so fragrant, we are 
likely to think them too fine for the amateur 
to grow. But many are hardy, thrifty flowers, 
capable of surviving conditions which would 
overcome flowers much less beautiful. Grow 
them in the border in small groups, with back- 
ground, where their beauty has a suitable setting. 
Outdoor Culture. When planting Lilies 
out-of-doors, see that they have a well-drained 
position, where they will be shaded from very 
hot sun. Such places can usually be found around 
the shrub borders, and in the hardy plant border. 
Never mix manure in the soil around Lilies, but 
enrich with S. & W. Co. Bulb Fertilizer or 
with bonemeal. Many varieties are termed 
““stemrooters,’’ that is, they develop roots on the 
stem up to 2 or 3 inches from the ground. These 
roots are voracious feeders, and on them depend 
greatly the number and size of flowers. When 
they appear, the plant should receive a top- 
dressing of good rich soil on which they can 
feed freely. Spade over the ground thoroughly 
to a depth‘of 18 inches before planting Lilies. Put 
some sand under and around the bulbs, and 
after covering protect with 6 to 8 inches of 
leaves or other litter. 
Canadense. The Meadow Lily of fields and 
roadsides. In July, its tall stems, 3 to 5 feet 
high, bear great sprays of nodding, bell-like 
brick orange flowers dotted with maroon. It is 
stem-rooting, likes moist, well-drained acid 
soil. Plant 8 inches deep in full sun or light 
shade and roots should be kept cool with a 
ground-cover. Both this and Flavum are easy 
to grow and are distinctly beautiful.
