These Lilies are all hardy and will come up year 
after year. Plant 6 to 8 inches deep in well drained 
soil, 12 to 18 inches apart and put an inch or two of 
sand below each bulb. 
In cold states, protect with 3 or 4 inches of straw, 
grass or hay, to prevent heaving, caused by BItCrTate 
freezing and the ee 
- Plant in well drained soil so the 
Lily, Madonna top of the bulb is covered with 
1% to 2 inches of dirt. They will make a top growth 
in the fall, so after the ground is frozen a little, 
mulch them lightly. with straw or excelsior, so as not 
to smother the green top. The mulch is merely to 
keep the ground from alternate freezing and thawing.

Te This Lily is not winter hardy. 
Yellow Calla Lily For outdoors, plant in well- 
drained soil after danger of frost is over. Cover with 
2 or 3 inches of soil. They thrive in a partially shaded 
location. Take up before frost in the fall. Give them 
a few weeks rest in a cool place. Then you can pot 
them for winter bloom. Use rich garden soil, placing 
bulbs near top of pot so the bulbs are covered with 
just one inch of soil. Water and treat like any house 
plant. 
Tigridia (Aztec Tiger Flower) 70t'S.an% 
not really 
a member of the Lily family. They are handled like 
Glads. They must be planted in the spring and dug 
in the fall, before freezing weather. Plant them 5 to 6 
inches deep and 5 to 6 inches apart. 
When you dig the bulbs in the fall, you will notice 
that the bulb has increased into several divisions. 
Do not, under any circumstances, pull these apart i 
the fall or during the winter, but just before you 
replant them in the spring, then you can divide ate 
crowns. 
Also, do not’ plant them in the spring until the 
ground is thoroughly warmed up. The original home 
of these bulbs is in Mexico and they like warm 
weather. If you plant them in cold ground they will 
rot. If your soil is heavy, plant only 4 inches deep. 
Even though the season is rather dry, do not water 
during the summer until the plants have made a good 
top growth. Then, the more water the better. After 
they start blooming, if you will give them plenty of 
water they will bloom more freely. 
The best method of storing the bulbs over the win- 
ter is to put them in dry sand and keep in a dry 
place where they will not freeze.
