Lily Culture 
There is a great deal of variation in the cultural require- 
ments of the different lilies which makes it impossible to 
cover the subject in a general way. Well drained soils of 
loose texture, in sun or partial shade as suggested under 
each variety is a necessity. Feed by mulching with good 
compost, or chemical fertilizer, avoiding all animal ma- 
nures. Protect with mulches for the sake of the more 
delicate varieties and to provide cool roots and shade for 
others. This will overcome the necessity for the usual 
recommendation of deep planting which is so often in- 
jurious. The depths suggested are for average soils and 
should be adjusted deeper for very light soils and more 
shallow for heavy ones. 
Soil for planting should be well worked to a depth of 18 
inches. Work in humus material and a small amount of 
commercial fertilizer. Avoid locations where diseased 
bulbs have been planted and as a precaution against rot 
dust bulbs before planting with a protectant such as Sper- 
gon. Plant as early as possible to keep bulbs fresh and 
plump.
