Vaughan's Lilium Harrissi and Cold Storage 

 Lilium Rubrum gave me excellent results. I got 

 twelve or fourteen blooms from each plant and they 

 were greatly admired by all who saw them. There 

 was no disease in any of the plants.

 plimip eyes, as these are the only kind that will give satisfaction 

 when forced.
