HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
Flower gardeners are giving more attention to Lilies now than ever before 
since they have found how easily they can be grown and how little attention 
they need year after year. Lilies, like shrubs, among which they thrive, are 
a more or less permanent investment in garden beauty. They must have good 
drainage and good soil. If you are not sure the soil drainage is perfect, put 
some course sand or fine gravel directly under the bulb. They do need shade 
at the ground level also, so planting among low shrubs or other ground cover 
is ideal. We now grow a great many varieties ot Lilies here in the Northwest
