HARDY GARDEN LILIES 
For Colorful Summer and Fall Bloom 
Lilies are the most satisfying of plants grown from 
bulbs. It may take a year or two for them to establish 
themselves but once they are settled in a well-drained 
spot, they increase in quality and quantity each year. 
Plant them amongst dwarf shrubs and perennials for 
then the ground will be in cool shade.
