If you have studied lilies in their native 
haunts, you have found them growing 
among masses of other plant material 
which completely shielded the surface of 
the soil. This applies to both sun loving 
varieties and those demanding shade. 
Try pansies, columbines, flax, anchusa, 
lupine, blue hosta, heuchera, violas, ferns, 
Chinese delphinium, lavender, Scotch 
pinks, sedum spectabile and others. 
Dwarf spreading evergreens make fine 
ground covers as do also low growing 
rhododendrons and azaleas. Both the lat- 
ter, like Lilies should NOT be cultivated 
as their roots are right at the surface. 
Most of the low growing sprawling decidu- 
ous shrubs are good also as they not only 
do a good job of shading but make fine 
masses of foliage against which the beau- 
ties of the Lily blooms show off well.

NOTE—Please note how these unit plans 
can have either a formal straight line at 
the front edge or a curved informal line. 
A very slight juggling of the plants can 
be made to accomplish this. It might be 
noted also that the unit five by ten feet 
will just as well make a border six feet 
wide by eight feet long or one four feet by 
twelve feet. 
On this page there are four unit garden 
plots, two five by ten and two four by ten. 
They could be combined into one long 
border by juggling the four by ten into 
five by eight and putting them end to 
end. This would make a border five by 
thirty-six. Better still would be to spread 
the border out to a width of seven feet 
to allow for additional companion plant- 
ing and produce a more complete garden.
