HARDY LILIES 
Lilies are so beautiful, and many of them are so fragrant, that you 
may think they are hard to grow, but such is not the case with most 
of the following varieties—they are easy. 
Generally, they are best planted where their roots will be in shadow 
and their stems and Jeaves in full light. Ideal positions are amid 
shrubs or in the annual or perennial border, or in the companionship 
of ground-cover. Any good garden soil will serve, provided it drains 
well. Spade the [and to a depth of 18 inches and work in our Bulb 
Fertilizer; plant the bulbs in groups of three or more of a kind, setting 
them on a 1-inch layer of sand. This will aid soil drainage, and pre- 
vent the bulbs rotting through excess moisture. 
Many Lilies are ‘‘stem-rooters,’’ that is, they develop roots on the 
stem above the bulb, in addition to roots below the bulb. Other 
kinds are “‘basal-rooters,’’ depending on roots below the bulb only. 
Stem-rooters are planted deep enough that the top of the bulb is 
covered by a thickness of soil twice the size of the bulb, from base 
to top; basal-rooters are planted shallow, overlaid by soil equal to 
one-half the size of the bulb.
