HOW TO PLANT LILIES 
Plant in well-drained position where they will be 
shaded from the hot sun. Never mix manure in 
soil around lilies. Use peat moss, a dab of Vigoro, 
and bonemeal. When buds appear give the plant a 
top-dressing of good rich soil (enrich with Vigoro) 
on which they can feed freely. Spade over the 
ground thoroughly to a depth of 18 inches before 
planting lilies. Put some sand under and around 
the bulbs after covering, protect with 6 to 8 inches 
of leaves, peat moss or other litter.
