7 Hardy Garden 
LILIES 
Lilies can create more 
interest in your hardy 
borders or rock gardens 
than any other genus of 
plants, mainly because of 
their wide range of va- 
rieties. Characteristics of 
plant, shape of flowers, 
olors; preference as to 
soil, and a _ blooming 
range from June to late 
fall, make Lilies especial- 
ly interesting. Though we 
give a few cultural hints 
under individual! varieties, 
it can be generally said 
that Lilies prefer a cool, 
moist soil, produced by 
a mulch of leaves, peat 
moss or a thick, low 
growing ground cover. 
Unless otherwise noted, 
plant 4 to 6 inches deep 
Lilium Speciosum Rubrum and about 10 to 12 inches 
apart. Lilies can be used 
almost anywhere in your garden. Plant in groups among perennials, low border shrubs, 
or banked against low evergreens. Some especially good combinations are Candidum with 
Delphinium, Henryi with evergreens or Buddleia, and Regals with climbing Roses. 
We are taking especial care to produce and sell only mosaic free bulbs. This is one of 
the principal reasons for failure with Lilies. Careful roguing and propagating from seed, 
where possible, is your assurace of healthy bulbs. All bulbs shipped are top size.
