Lilies 
Ali 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 colour for many years, when left un- 
disturbed. 
Culture: Lilies must not be allowed to dry out, but should be planted im- 
mediately on arrival at a depth of three times the height of the bulb in a 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 
composed 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. Add a fresh top-dressing in early Spring.
