HARDY LILIES 
No garden is complete without Lilies. 
The fullest measure of decorative effect is 
secured when Lilies are used in combination 
with other plants and shrubs. Striking 
effects are produced by planting them among 
tall growing perennials, in front of large 
shrubs, or among dwarf shrubbery. 
Good drainage is an essential point. The 
preparation of the soil should be such as to 
provide ample moisture during the growing 
period, but without having an excess of 
water during the dormant period. When 
planting the bulbs it is well to surround them 
with sand or fine gravel. This helps to 
drain away surplus moisture.

grant white flowers, spotted maroon, with
