ing lilies with much less cost for fuel 

 than now obtains with imported stock. 



Seedlings potted from the field in 

 October, in various stages of develop- 

 ment, can be put into groups according 

 to size and held in frames until the first 

 of the year if wanted for Easter. The 

 most advanced of them will need no 

 heat until a later date, and from that 

 time they can be kept much cooler than 

 is usual with freshly potted bulbs. 



It is suggested that it may be entirely 

 feasible to carry bulbs in ordinary 

 storage so far into the summer that when 

 planted out they can be repotted for 

 winter flowering in the field after as 

 much as a foot of stem has formed. 

 With cold storage for a month or two, 

 of course, this procedure would be pos- 

 sible. 



It is thought that methods of timing 

 stocks can be worked out for the warm- 

 er sections of California so that the 

 plants can be brought into flower at 

 almost any season with no artificial 

 heat. 



These possibilities, coupled with the 

 further one of holding the cut flowers 

 for two or three months in cold storage, 

 suggest many modifications in handling 

 and in supplying cut flowers for the 

 market. 



Resistance to Cold. 



A light frost will not injure the 

 Easter lily even when in flower. Plants 

 in full flower and full bud have been 

 known to withstand a temperature of 

 28 degrees at night with no permanent 

 injury. A tcmiierature of 26 degrees, 

 however, killed all the flowers and buds 

 except a few barely in view and amply 

 protected by the surrounding leaves. 

 On the gulf coast a drop from growing 

 weather to 20 degrees is considered 

 fatal to plants in vegetative condition.
