HARDY LILIES 
Many of the late-flowering Lily bulbs are not ready before the end of November. Where the ground is likely to freeze, we advise the 
preparation of the Lily beds or borders early in autumn, covering with 4 to 6 inches of leaves or other litter to prevent the ground from 
freezing until the bulbs arrive. See that they have a well-drained position. Without exception, they prefer a half-shady, moist location, 
protected against the hot sun. The ground must be thoroughly spaded to a depth of 18 inches before planting Lilies and must be enriched 
by adding equal portions of leafmold, peat and rotten manure. Plant the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep. Varieties like Speciosum require at 
least 8 inches. Put some sand under and around the bulbs to insure proper drainage. Cover the beds with 6 to 8 inches of leaves or other 
litter, which must be removed in late spring.
