And How To Grow Them 

the hole before adding the layer of sand, as 
outlined for ‘Tulips. In that case, you will 
have to dig the hole deeper, to allow for the 
extra layer of manure and sand. Always see 
that you separate the manure from the plants 
by a layer of sand. Observe that we have said 
before, do not allow manure to come in con- 
tact with the roots. 
WHERE TO PLANT: All Mums, including 
Azaleamums, like sun, and should have it at 
least six hours per day. Do not plant them 
in full shade or close to trees. Not only will 
the trees shade the plants, but they will rob 
them of fertility and moisture. You can ex- 
pect no success if you plant under trees. 
After your Azaleamums or Mum plants are 
set, water them well; then, after the first 
freeze, mulch them as for perennials. Fur- 
ther details regarding their later care will be 
given in our spring edition of “Kelloge’s Fa- 
mous Flowers and How to Grow Them,” 
sent free to all who order of, us this fall. 
Hardy Asters 
Observe the instructions for planting peren- 
nials in general. Give Asters full sun or part 
shade. They do not like too much fertility, 
therefore it is best to give them ve a good, 
average garden soil. Plant them 2 feet apart. 
They require very little care after planting, 
and insects and diseases seldom bother them. 
Lilies 
Give Lilies a deep, well-drained soil, and dig 
the soil deep. Further, if possible, replace the 
sub-soil with rich top soil to which peat moss 
or sand has been added. This will create a 
spongy-porous texture and provide drainage. 
Lilies like shaded roots; therefore, plant them 
in beds among other perennials. 
Plant Lilies deeply, as nearly all kinds send 
out roots above the bulb as well as below. 
Seven or eight inches is the correct depth for 
most varieties but it is always safe to plant to 
a depth equal to 34% times the diameter of 
the bulb.When planting, surround the bulbs 
with a layer of sand to assure perfect drain- 
age, if you can. 
A good insurance against disease is to roll the 
bulbs in sulphur before planting. Most Lilies 
are entirely hardy, but it is cheap insurance 
to mulch well after the ground is frozen in 
the fall. Weil-rotted stable manure is best as 
it serves the double purpose of protecting 
the bulbs and fertilizing the soil for the fol- 
lowing season. Use straw and remove in 
spring if manure is not available. 
Day Lilies 
Beyond well-drained soil, Day Lilies require 
little attention and will thrive in almost oe 
garden. When planting, dig soil deeply (18 
inches) and add well-rotted cow manure. Dig 
holes deep enough to prevent crowding of 
roots, and set plants with crown just level 
with the soil surface. Day Lilies will grow in 
full sun if soil is rich and moist. Otherwise 
they do better with part shade.
