Hardy Garden Lilies 
Beautiful and Permanent 
Lilies are becoming increasingly popular and may be grown 
successfully by any gardener. They bring charm to the garden 
quite different from that of any other flower. You may have 
cool whites, rich yellows and dazzling scarlets. Lilies may be 
had in bloom from early summer until fall by proper selection. 
Plant Lilies informally in clumps or large masses. Place the 
bulbs 4 to 8 inches deep (depending upon variety and size of 
bulbs’, with a handful of sand around each one. If the soil is 
wet! enriched, so much the better for the size and beauty of the 
flower. A well drained deep soil gives the best results. Bone 
meal Is the best fertilizer. 
Some Lilies produce large bulbs, such as Auratum and Rub- 
rum, whereas many others will never make such a large bulb, 
as for example the Pardalinum and Tenuifolium.
