Unless pre- pared to care for those received in December, please defer ordering until you receive our Garden Book for 1931 in which these will be offered for Spring delivery. These bulbs are so perishable that we cannot accept their return. It is advisable to prepare your Lily bed early in the autumn and cover with 3 or 4 inches of litter. This will keep the ground from freezing and permit the planting of the late- maturing kitids, which frequently do not arrive unt,il after hard frost. Ill planting, cover the bulbs at least three times their own depth, no animal manure should be used as fertilizer unless thoroughly rotted and worked into the soil beneath the bulbs, setting the latter in pockets of clean soil or sand. When hard frost sets in, 4 to 6 inches of leaves or litter should be placed over them; this should be removed in the spring when danger from hard frost is past. When grown in pots it is advisable to begin with the smallest pot in which the bulbs can be placed, and to shift into larger pots as the plant progresses.
