Hardy Ole 
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 prepara- 
tion of the Lily beds or borders early in autumn, 
covering with 4 to 6 inches of leaves to prevent 
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 leaf mold, 
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.
