Olds’ Hardy Lilies 
The beautiful fragrant lilies are considered by many too difficult to grow. 
However, the hardy varieties which we list are no harder to grow than a 
tulip. They blossom 
in midsummer when fine flowers are most welcome. 
Plant with a dark background in groups in the flower border and shrubbery. 
Madonna Lily. 
LILIUM CANDIDIUM OR MA- 
DONNA. (Ready now.) Plant early 
in the fall. They grow to a height of 
two to three feet and bloom about the 
first of July. Sometimes aS many as 
20 blooms are borne on a plant. Our 
Madonna Lily bulbs are large and 
measure from 20 to 22 centimeters up 
in circumference. They are the thick 
petaled variety. Plant with only two 
inches of soil over the bulb. Prices, 
20 to 22 ctm. bulbs; Each, 35c; 3 for 
$1.00; 6 for $1.90; 12 for $3.60, post- 
paid. 
CULTURE. Select a place to 
plant that is well drained. The soil 
should be spaded thoroughly 15 to 
18 inches deep. Do this early in 
the fall as lilies cannot be moved |i 
until late and it is hard to work 
the ground late in the season, 
especially after 
light frost. Enrich the soil with 
leaf mold and sheep manure in 
equal proportions. Set the bulbs 
4 to 8 inches deep, depending on 
the size, tilting to a 45-degree 
angle. To insure good drainage 
pack sand around the bulb.
