LILIES (Cultural Notes ) 
Most Lily bulbs may be planted in the Spring or Fall. The most 
important factor in growing Lilies is that they should have good 
drainage. Manure or commercial fertilizer should never be allowed 
to come in direct contact with the bulbs, as this is often the cause 
of rotting or disease. In planting, dig the hole 6 inches deeper than 
the bulb is to be set and place some well decomposed leafmold 
in the bottom of the hole. Over this, place an inch or two of 
sand. The bulb is then placed on its side on the sand. A mulch of 
peat moss or leaf-mold is very necessary during the Summer. *ith 
straw and leaves for winter covering. 
7*Lilium Henryi—Very similar to Speciosum except in coloring, which 
is a gorgeous orange yellow with a green stripe down the center of 
each petal. This Lily blooms in August and September, which 
makes it very valuable for the late Summer garden. It is perfectly 
hardy and has no particular soil requirements. Plant 10 inches deep.
