Michells Hardy G arden Lilies 
A garden is not complete without a planting 
of Hardy Lilies. They do exceedingly well in 
the herbaceous border. The varieties listed 
can be planted in the early spring months, 
and it is recommended that they be planted 
among hardy perennials, as the shade from 
the surrounding plants is necessary for their 
welfare.

pearly tint. Should be planted in fall or early
