This need not be the case for there are seven new hybrid gar den lilies that are exceedingly long-growing. The seven are: Green Mountain, Cascade Ma donna. Pink Select, Rainbow, Apireban, Mid-Century and Fies ta. The Rainbow hybirds are very hardy. However, all seven are so sturdy that they do not need staking or any special pamepring. Do not make the mistake of thinking all hybrids lilies are worth growing. It takes large scale production and continuous selection to keep strains up to standard or to improve them. For this reason, there is a great temptation to grow a lot of bulbs from seed antj sell them as "X" hybrid. In this way you get noth ing any better than ordinary lil ies. It is a waste of time and money tob uy dried-up, dedicated bulbs like those often seen on counters of small garden stores all over the country. A garden store with out cold-storage equipment has no business selling lilies, for lil ies must be treated as living plants, not dormant bulbs. Lily bulbs ship well. The best thing to do is buy by mail from a firm that specializes in lilies. In this way you will be sure your bulbs have been stored cor rectly. Lilies grow best in a mildly acid soil well aerated. If your soil is sticky and clayey, mix in peat generously. Lilies need moisture, but the bulbs will not if the soil is at all swampy. They need a little shade in hot cli mates. Madonna liles should be cov ered with not more than an inch of soil. Other lilies should be planted four to five inches deep. Competition's Too Darned Tuff To Let Appearance Conceal Your Stuff!!
