HARDY WATER LILIES 
The plants listed under this heading are all of the hardy 
type, but except for one or two kinds they must be given 
protection in winter. All hardy lilies are day bloomers, 
opening early in the morning and closing every afternoon. 
Most kinds open four or five days in succession and after 
getting well established should have several blooms 
each day.
