Lilies 
All High Quality Dutch Grown Bulbs 
Of all the classes of plants capable of being cultivated outdoors, the Lily stands pre-eminent for 
beauty, grace and color for many years, when left undisturbed. 
Culture: Lilies must not be allowed to dry out, but should be planted immediately on arrival at 
a depth of three times the height of the bulbina well drained, light loamy soil. No Lilies will thrive in 
full shade. After the bulbs have set, they should be covered with one inch of soil, on top of which 
another layer of composted old cow manure should find its place. The first season after planting 
Lilies do not flower profusely, but once established, they increase in richness and display. Cutting 
down the dead stems in autumn is essential for good results the following year and add a fresh top- 
dressing in early spring.
