PLANTING OF LILIES 
With a properly made bulb bed and good bulbs one can look forward with certainty 
to a harvest of beauty. 
Good drainage is the first consideration; then the preparation of the soil. 
Peat or leaf mold should be added, and bone meal—or a special bulb fertilizer. 
The depth of planting varies with the species; norma!ly it should be about three 
times the height of the bulb. That is, if the bulb is three incres high, its base should be 
nine inches deep. 
According to rooting habits, there are two main classes of lilies. Those of one class 
product roots from the base of the bulb only; the other kind develop feeding roots along 
the stem between the bulb and the surface of the ground and the base of the bulb. 
Most of the lilies we offer are stem rooting. The Madonna Lily is base rooting. 
Whether lilies are grown in a bed by themselves or in the border in combination 
with perennials, or with shrubs, they require a year round mulch to keep the soil mellow 
and to conserve moisture.
