LILIUM REGALE 
Lilies for Spring Planting 
LILIUM SUPERBUM 
A 
HyAReY lily bulbs, of 1943 crop, carried over the winter in cold 
storage, may be planted in the spring, and will blossom in mid- 
summer, when the garden needs their glory. 
Lilies are truly among the most beautiful of all bulbous plants. They 
are especially suitable for planting in herbaceous borders, and enjoy a 
position where they are protected by the shade of surrounding plants. 
Light, well-drained soil is recommended. Bulbs should be planted 5 to 
6 inches below the surface, and to prevent the accumulation of ex- 
cessive moisture, surround the bulb with coarse sand and fill in with a 
mixture of fibrous loam and leaf-mold. 
Many varieties are termed “‘stem-rooters’—that is, they develop 
roots on the stem up to two or three inches from the ground. These 
roots are voracious feeders, and on them depend greatly the number 
and size of flowers. When they appear, the plant should receive a top 
dressing of good rich soil on which they can feed freely. 
For the smaller varieties, plant in clumps, the bulbs about 6 inches 
apart, leaving more space for the strong and larger species. The most 
striking mode of planting is in groups of 3 to 9 bulbs in a mass.
