Most of the Lilies we offer are easily grown 
if certain simple requirements are met. In 
general they like a deep rich loam with perfect 
drainage. If there is any question about the 
latter, the beds may be raised two or three 
inches or the bulbs placed in individual pockets 
of sand. To keep the hot sun from baking the 
soil over them, lightly rooting ground covers 
are essential. 
Lilies mature so late in the season that 
delivery may be delayed until late autumn. As 
late planting ts preferable to spring planting for 
most varieties, the ground should be protected 
against freezing by mulching deeply with leaves 
or other material. A bucket of dry soil stored 
inside for covering them is a convenience. In 
no case, should the bulbs remain long unplanted. 
Unlike many other bulbous plants, Lilies 
are not at their best the first year. Only after 
becoming well established do they begin to pro- 
duce their finest displays.
