Hardy Garden 
LILIES 
ALL POSTPAID 
STANDARD LILIES 
Stately Lilies are of the easiest culture, and the 
varieties listed below are all perfectly hardy. After 
once being planted, they will increase in beauty and 
size with each succeeding year. Lilies do best in a 
well drained sandy soil, which should be fairly rich, 
and the plants should be given plenty of water dur- 
ing periods of drought. In order to grow Lilies to 
large size, the bulbs should be planted deeply, 6 
inches or more, and the soil stirred to double the 
depth of planting.
