“HARDY” LILIES 
Hardy Lilies should be grown cool and given 16 to 18 weeks from time of planting to bring them into bloom, so the 
best results can be obtained; in fact, if you can give them longer to come into flower it is better. Where they are forced 
with plenty of heat, the result is that you get good foliage with not so many early blooms.
