We are likely to think Lilies are too fine for 
the amateur to grow because they are so 
beautiful and fragrant. However, there are 
many hardy thrifty varieties capable of with- 
standing conditions which overcome less 
beautiful flowers. Grow them in the border 
in small groups, with background plants, 
where their beauty has a suitable setting. 
Outdoor Culture. Lilies planted outdoors 
should have a well-drained position where they will 
be shaded from very hot sun. Never mix manure in 
soil around Lilies; use S. & W. Bulb Fertilizer or 
bonemeal. Many varieties of Lilies are ‘‘stem- 
rooters’’—they develop roots on the stem up to 2 to 
3 inches from the ground. These roots are voracious 
feeders and on them depend greatly the number 
and size of the flowers. When the buds appear give 
the plant a top-dressing of good rich soil on which 
they can feed freely. Spade over the ground thor- 
oughly to a depth of 18 inches before planting 
Lilies. Put some sand under and around the bulbs 
and after covering protect with 6 to 8 inches of 
leaves or other litter. 
AURATUM. Stately Lilies growing 3 to 6 
feet high. One plant bears twenty or more 
large, fragrant flowers 8 to 10 inches in 
diameter, in August. White, spotted deep 
red, with a bright yellow band running

to 12 inches deep. Stem-rooting.
