Put lilies in garden Before deciding to throw out your Easter lily, con sider transplanting it in the garden. Easter lilies (Lilium longiflorum) can be grown successfully outdoors, says Theo Blom, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food horticulturist. If you’re lucky, they may bloom again in the fall. Once the plant has bloom ed indoors, remove the anthers from the flowers and keep the plant well watered in a cool room. Mr. Blom says lilies enjoy good light, but not direct sunlight. As soon as danger of frost is past, remove the plant from the pot and transplant to a partially-shaded section bf the garden. Lilies prefer light soils with good drainage and water-holding capacity, but without high fertility. Because the Easter lily is not entirely winter-hardy, Mr. Blom recommends us ing a thick mulch of leaves and straw to cover the bulbs. If the winter is not too severe, the bulbs should grow and flower again next year. r Gabion Stone Calcium Chloride in 100 pound bags Sand & Stone Stone for Weeping Beds EARL LIPPERT TRUCKING LTD Creditor! 234-6382 ^-■nn, j...................... : ......‘ Logging chain Farm Price High test 3/b" x 16 ft. chain with grab hook and slip hook.
