HARDY LILIES—Exclamation Points of Garden Beauty 

Lilies are so beautiful, and many so fragrant, that you may think 
them hard to grow, but most of the following varieties are easy. 
Generally, they are best planted where their roots will be in shadow 
and their stems and leaves in full light. Ideal positions are amid 
shrubs or in the annual or perennial border, or in the companionship 
of ground-cover. Any good garden soil will serve, provided it drains 
well. Spade the Iand to a depth of 18 inches and work in General 
Garden Fertilizer; plant the bulbs in groups of three or more of a kind,

Many Lilies are “‘stem-rooters,” that is, they develop roots on the 
stem above the bulb, in addition to roots below the bulb. Other 
kinds are “‘basal-rooters,’’ depending on roots below the bulb only. 
Stem-rooters are planted deep enough that the top of the bulb is 
covered by a thickness of soil twice the size of the bulb, from base 
on top; basal-rooters are planted shallow, overlaid by soil equal to 
one-half the size of the bulb.
