Lilium regale 
Lilium - Lilies 
Lilies are so incomparably beautiful 
that all who see them wish to grow 
them. They are rather particular in 
their requirements. Most failures are 
due to too shallow planting. They all 
like a deep, mellow, well-drained soil 
with equal parts of sand and mold add- 
ed. With few exceptions native Lilies 
like a sunny location and should be 
planted 9 inches deep. Japanese Lilies 
prefer a moist, cool base and sunny top, 
and should be planted 10 in. deep. 
Planted among shrubs or Rhododen- 
drons the desired conditions are ob- 
tained. It is good practice to set each 
bulb on a small stone or layer of sand.
