Select List Hardy Lilies 
Most lilies require well-drained soil. 
Some shade on the ground is very good 
but the sun is needed around the upper 
plant. The soil should be fibrous and 
rooty; some leaf mold or peat should be 
added. Plant one foot apart. Charcoal 
and sulphur sprinkled in planting helps 
to ward off worm attacks and blue mold. 
We offer large, blooming size bulbs. Our 
bulbs will be sent at the proper season. 
Most of our lily bulbs are grown in 
Oregon and Washington. Lily bulbs can 
not be kept too dry or too moist. Most 
varieties can be planted in the Fall.
