Notes on Lily Planting 
All varieties of Lilies listed on these pages should be planted at a depth of 
8 to 12 inches with the exception of L. Auratum and L. Candidum. Experience 
has shown that the optimum planting depth for these latter is 2 to 3 inches. 
Certain varieties of Lilies, Speciosum Rubrum among them, mature so late as 
to become available in late November. In severe climates to prevent the ground 
from freezing, we recommend that the soil be prepared and mulched heavily. 
Then, when the bulbs arrive, the mulch may be removed and the bulbs planted 
without difficulty.
