LILIUM (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. A mulch of peat moss or leafmold 
is very necessary during the Summer, with straw and leaves 
for Winer covering. 
Interspersed in plantings add dignity and beauty to any gar- 
den. They adapt themselves to any location, are very hardy 
and are exquisite cut flower subjects.
