Lilies From Seed in 8 Months 
Mrs. M. Culbertson, Stuttgart, Ark., writes: “I want to 
tell you about the success I had with the package of lily 
seed Lilium Philippinense Formosanum which I purchased 
from you last spring. October 1st of same year gave me 
the first fully opened flowers. Later others opened, some 
stalks having 3 flowers measuring 7% to 8 inches in length. 
I potted some of the plants while in bloom, and now they 
are sprouting up all around the old stem. The plants I 
left outside are fine also.” 
For description of this wonderful lily see page 63. 
SPECIAL NOTICE. For best results Oriental Poppies should 
be transplanted during their dormant season, in the late sum¬ 
mer or early fall. We, being interested in the success of our 
customers, will fill all orders for Oriental Poppy plants at that 
time unless otherwise instructed. 
We can make spring shipment to 
customers who want them at that 
time, but we can not be held re¬ 
sponsible for the success of Oriental 
Poppies planted in the spring. 
Oriental Poppy Seed 
ORIENTAL HYBRIDS. For bril¬ 
liancy in color, nothing equals 
them. Flowers of enormous size, 
often measuring over 6 inches in 
diameter; colors range from rose 
and salmon-pink to the most bril¬ 
liant dazzling scarlet and rich ma¬ 
roon purple. Pkt., 10c. 
New Iceland Poppy 
Coonara Pink. A charming warm rose-pink, 
faintly suffused with salmon-pink combining the 
pink and salmon shadings in wonderful delicacy. 
The plants are more vigorous than is usual in 
Iceland Poppies, and the flowers are much more 
freely produced on long, slender stems through¬ 
out the season. They will keep well if cut in bud 
and the end of stems seared for a moment. If 
seed is sown early, plants will bloom the same 
year. Pkt., 15c.
