879. White, E. A. Lilium longiflorum from seed. Florists' Exchange 48: 53. 5 fig. 

 1919. — An account of work done in the Dept. of Floriculture, Cornell University, on raising 

 seedling lilies, confirming experiments by the Dept. of Agric, Washington, D. C. Vigorous 

 plants in full bloom were produced in a little over eighteen months after seed sowing. Healthy 

 seedlings do not result from self-fertilization. As a rule the strongest seedlings are ob- 

 tained by crosses between varieties within the species, as, for example, Lilium longiflorum 

 var. formosum x formosum, and var. eximium x var. formosum. Other experiments seemed 

 to prove that hybridization between garden species may be successful. The seedlings have 

 not yet flowered and are still under observation. — L. A. Mil
