JAN DE GRAAFF’S SPECTACULAR NEW VARIETIES 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Plant these new lilies in slightly acid, well-drained garden soils, the type that 
produces good Azaleas and Rhododendrons. Plant them in filtered sunlight in 
the warmer sections of our country and in full sunlight where cool summers 
prevail. Put not more than an inch of soil over the Cascade Madonna lilies. 
All others need from four to six inches. Provide perfect drainage and a good 
supply of moisture; mulch with good garden compost, leafmold and, if available, 
old, well-rotted manure.
