HARDY LILIES 
Many of the late-flowering Lily bulbs are not ready before the end of Novem- 
ber. Where the ground is likely to freeze, we advise the preparation of the Lily 
beds or borders early in autumn, covering with 4 to 6 inches of leaves or other 
litter to prevent the ground from freezing until the bulbs arrive. See that they have 
a well-drdined position. Without exception, they prefer a hali-shddy, moist location, 
protected against the hot sun. The ground must be thoroughly spaded to a depth 
of 18 inches before planting Lilies dnd must be enriched by adding equal portions 
of ledfmold, pea! and rotten mdnure. Plant the bulbs 6 to 8 inches deep. Varieties 
like Specicsum require at least 8 inches. Put some sand under dnd around the bulbs 
to insure proper drainage. Cover the beds with 6 to 8 inches of ledves or other 
litter, which must be removed in spring.
