Burpee’s Hardy Garden Lilies 
Easy to grow in any good, well-drained garden loam to which has been added a generous quantity of leaf mold. Once established, 
they will increase in beauty each year. Most all lilies delight in a sunny location, but mulch so that the hot sun does not reach the soil 
around the base of the plant. All varieties offered are highly decorative in the border, while the dwarfer ones also give a charming touch 
of beauty to the rock garden. Lily bulbs differ greatly in size according to variety, some 1 in. across, others 3 in. or more; we supply the 
sizes which will give the best results. We do not recommend hardy lily bulbs for house culture; for this purpose, plant the Easter Lilies 
offered on page 31 which also may be grown outdoors in sections where winters are mild. : :

Delivery of Hardy Garden Lily Bulbs 
Hardy Garden Lilies are sent you in the fall just as soon as they are thor- 
oughly cured and in the proper condition for planting. Some varieties will 
not be ready until November or early December. Plant them in the garden 
as soon as possible aiter they are received. If you live in a locality where the 
soil freezes early, we suggest that you cover the ground with manure, leaves, 
straw, etc., to prevent it from freezing. When lily bulbs arrive, remove 
covering and plant them immediately. Do not put the covering back over 
the bulbs until after the ground has frozen hard. The purpose of the cover- 
ing is to keep the ground frozen so that alternate freezings and thawings 
will‘not injure root growth during the winter. Remove covering in spring.
