Michells Hardy Garden Lilies 
What is a garden without a planting of Hardy Lilies? For herbaceous borders they are unexcelled. Planting them among peren- 
nials for sufficient shade is recommended. 
Planted from 6 to 10 inches deep, bulbs thrive when enveloped in sand. Manure should not come in direct contact with the bulb, 
but may be placed 4 to 6 inches underneath. Loose-petaled bulbs should be planted on their sides rather than upright. Leaf or 
litter protection during the winter is best.
