Delivery of 
Hardy Garden Lily Bulbs 
Hardy Garden Lilies are sent you in 
the fall just as soon as the bulbs are 
thoroughly cured and in the proper 
condition for planting. Some varieties 
will not be ready until November or 
éarly December. Plant them in the 
garden as soon as possible after they 
are received. If you live in a locality 
where the soil freezes early, we sug- 
gest that you cover the ground with 
manure, leaves, straw, etc., to prevent 
it from freezing. When lily bulbs ar- 
rive, remove covering and plant them 
immediately. Do not put the covering 
back over the bulbs until-after the 
ground has frozen hard. The purpose 
of the covering is to keep the ground 
frozen so that alternate freezings and 
thawings will not injure root growth 
during the winter. Remove covering 
in spring after danger of frost has
