HOW TO GROW THEM 
Lilies, Gladioli, 
Cannas, Dahlias, 
Begonias 
Kind of Soil 
ILIES should have a cool soil, a little bit 
on the heavy side. Even clay would be 
O. K., but if you do have a heavy clay soil it 
is wise to mix in something to make it por- 
ous. Sand would do, but supplies no fertility. 
Wellrotted stable manure is much better, as 
it would loosen and aerate the soil and fer- 
tilize at the same time—and Lilies do require 
fertility. 
Lilies should be given sun as much as 
possible; that is, they should be planted in a 
location where the sun strikes at least five to 
six hours per day in the summer time. 



NOTE HOW the roots of the Lily at the 
right are shaded by the perennials in 
front. This Lily has a very good chance 
to do well. The Lily at the left may do 
well also, but hasn’t quite as good a 
chance as the one at the right, as its roots 
are not shaded. 
But, remember that they require a cool 
soil, and if you can plant them so that the 
soil about the Lilies is shaded by your other 
plants, you are giving them ideal conditions. 
In other words, plant your Lilies to the north- 
ward side of other plants that will supply 
shade for the soil. The Lily stalks will then 
rise up above these other plants, where the 
flowers can get the sun. 
Gladioli likewise can be planted in heavy 
soil, but will grow on any type of soil on 
down to the loose sandy types. If your soil 
is Clay, treat as suggested above for Lilies. 
Gladioli are not used in landscaping 
plantings, but are grown for cut flowers, us- 
ually in rows. Give them full sun, if you can— 
five to six hours per day—same as for Lilies.
