A FOREWORD FROM 
Sandyloam 
Lilies should be considered as plants for the over-all 
garden and should not be limited to the perennial border. 
Place them imaginatively and positively as an azalea would 
be placed rather than delphinium. In every sense they are 
to the garden what friends are to a life or fine paintings to 
a room. Some few will not wear well and will need replacing 
periodically, a few others may not adjust to the cultural con- 
ditions of a given site; but on the whole most of the lilies 
listed here will establish readily and increase in vigorous 
loveliness from one year to the next. Plant them wherever on 
the grounds there is space and need for delicacy, vitality or 
the particular luminous quality of beauty that only lilies 
have.
