HARDY GARDEN LILIES postr... 


Lily-of-the-Valley 


Estate Lily 

Lilium Regale—Royal Lily 
The use of fertilizers with 
Lilies is most important. Well 
rotted sheep manure is best 
but should never be used in 
contact with the bulb. Bone 
meal as a top dressing is very 
necessary. 
See page 41. 
Stately Lilies are of the easiest culture, and the varieties 
listed below are all perfectly hardy. After once being 
planted, they will increase in beauty and size with each suc- 
ceeding year. Lilies do best in a well drained sandy soil, 
which should be fairly rich, and the plants should be given 
plenty of water during periods of drought. In order to 
grow Lilies to large size, the bulbs should be planted deep- 
ly, 6 inches or more, and the soil stirred, to double the 
depth of planting.
