“CONSIDER THE LILIES” 
VERYONE loves lilies. These stately and beautiful flowers add 
4 a touch of dignity to every garden, large or small. Good, clean 
lilies, once established, give a wealth of pleasure and satisfaction for 
many years. lor that reason we started from seed, since disease is not 
transmitted through seeds. So far as we know, these bulbs are free 
from disease and should give satisfaction wherever grown. The varie- 
ties offered are all hardy and of easy culture and will do well in almost 
every section of the United States. 
The ideal soil for lilies is sufficiently porous to permit rapid drain- 
age in winter, yet rich enough to retain moisture during the summer. 
Soil should be deep and well tilled. Most lilies are planted deep, and 
the roots feed well below the bulbs. Leaves from deciduous trees may 
be used as mulch, and to mix into the lily beds, while bone meal is 
splendid when added to the soil beneath the bulbs before planting. 
Good superphosphate is also very fine, but MUST NOT COME IN
