Cultural Needs Told The basic cultural needs of the lily are a deep fertile soil, good drainage but. with sufficient mois ture during the growing period and a cool location. Bulbs of lilies dif fer in the depth at which they grow. Some called stem-rooters creep underground for several feet before showing above ground. These lilies need much more space above the bulb and should be planted at least 8 inches deep. In very loose and sandy soils, a depth of 10 inches is not too much. Most lilies have what are known as contractile root systems. If planted too shallow, they will ac tually contract, pulling the bulb down to a more favorable depth for the species. Bulb rooting lilies want a more shallow planting. The Madonna Lily should not be deep er than 2 inches. If your site is level and soil heavy, prepare raised beds. Lilies are heavy feeders and deeply rooted. They like a good mulch of rich compost, well rotted cow manure or decaying leaf mold and this can be applied several times during the growing season. This mulch keeps the ground cool, elim inates weeds and the need for sur face cultivation which might dam age the roots. Do not expect your lilies to compelo with perennials or shrubs. Air drainage is im portant too as a good breero can keep pests and diseases away. T Ulna nnn4 nnltfflt lllltll 9 11.111.

Lilies need their stems and foil ace to build the next year's growth Cutting flowers only to prevent the setting of seed pods IS bencll cial. Cutting stems with foliage year after year will definitely kill the plant. Lilies are comparatively cosily but are long lived and are best when left undisturbed. They are not limited to a short season one species or variety succeeds another and they extend their flowering from June through October. Variety It Varied Group plantings of lilies are more effective than single speci mens. Three or more bulbs plant ed from 6 inches to a foot apart, depending upon the variety, will give better cilcci ana prolong bloom and be beautiful in the gar den with other plant material.

Even in founda tion plantings where low-growing to medium height shrubs are used, many ot tne snorter lilies would be attractive and they are different from most flowers seen in front of houses. Types Described The lily family is divided into four groups. These include the Trumpet types which arc the most familiar which include Golden Clarion, Regal and Easter lilies.

The smaller of the re-curved blooms are represented by the Fiesta Hybrids. The larger re-curved blooms are illustrated by Lilium speciosum and its varieties, Red Champion and While Cham pion. Lastly, there is the erect or chalice shaped bloom, having medium size upright fucing flow ers usually in shades of yellow, salmon, orange or red, and grow ing in clusters. This is typical of several mid-century varieties. Named varieties will be uniform but hybrids will vary in size, color and time of blooming. These dif ferences are an advantage in that tney extend llio flowering season and the unusual colors, shapes and sizes create interest. There is no reason to have a garden without lilies today, with all the new chem icals for the control of diseases and insects, and the fact that healthy American-grown bulbs of new hybrids are available at rea sonable prices. ibc3tciusttcuicio SECTION lot., July 13, 1963 Th Newi-Revww, Roseburg, Or I Should You Spray Or Dust Roses? Take this advice from a master rose grower: dust your roses when the foliage is wet, after a rain, and spray when the foliage is dry. One is just as good as the other in protecting your rose plants from insects and diseases. The reason you use both is for con venience. When the foliage is wet, the dust sticks bettor. There's no need to mix the spray with water as in liquid sprays. You can cov er a large number of bushes in a very short time. On the other hand, a liquid spray will slick better when the foliage is dry. Of course you can use either sprav whether the foliage is wet or dry. but there is more effic iency by using the two types, in accordance with the moisture con ditions of the foliage. QUEEN OF THE GARDEN is this pink Olympic Hybrid lily grown by Mrs. Paul Jenkins of Roseburg. Just now coming into bloom for the summer, the bulb last year produced 35 of the spectacular blooms. Bone meal, pasteurized steer manure, plus a good mulch of either peat moss or sawdust may be used in lily culture, Mrs. Jenkins soys. One of her pet projects Is to grow Aurelium lilies from seed and she reports having blooms Ihe second year alter planting. The accompanying article on lilies in today's Garden Section lists many of the hybrid types available.
