Cultural Directions for 
HARDY LILIES 
Lilies may be planted either in the fall or early spring. 
Lilium candidum (Madonna Lily), however, must 
be planted in early autumn, preferably August and Sep- 
tember, as these make root or leaf-growth in the fall. 
All Lilies require good drainage and the best soil is a 
fibrous loam, mixed with sand and Jeaf-mould. 
Donot use fertilizers for Lilies, but cover the groundin 
the fall with a liberal mulch of granulated peat moss. 
_ The native Lilies are planted from 5 to 6 inches deep 
in a sunny woodland situation. Splendid in the peren- 
nial border. 
An _ application of Semesan before planting is | 
effective in_ preventing rotor fungous diseases. Mix 
1 ounce of Semesan in 3 gallons of water and soak bulbs 
in solution for 20 minutes. 
Do not be disappointed if the bulb fails to show 
growth the first year, as some native sorts remain dor- 
mant for a year, and burst out strongly the next season.
