CULTURAL DIRECTIONS ON HARDY LILIES 
Plant bulbs immediately on arrival in a well drained soil, giving 
them plenty of opportunity for root action. The containers should 
then be set on a raised platform in a cool, semi-dark place, 
affording perfect drainage. When flower buds appear, the plants 
will then readily submit to forcing. They may also be planted 
out of doors for flowering in June and early July and later.
