Hardy Garden Lilies 
The hardy border is an ideal location for lilies, as they need sunshine on their 
tops and shade about their roots. The foliage of surrounding low shrubbery and 
plants provides shade and shows the flowers to best advantage. 
Cultural Note—All_ Hardy Lilies 
listed here (except Blackberry) are 
““stem-rooters’’ and require deep plant- 
ing, as they develop roots along the 
stem, as well as below the bulb. Set 
bulbs 6-8 inches deep, surrounded by 
a layer of coarse sand to aid in soil 
drainage and prevent rotting of bulb 
through excess moisture. Write for our 
hee leaflet on the culture of garden 
ilies.
