We offer a choice group of fine unusual lilies 
LILIUM 
The seeds presented in the following list have 
been collected in the three sections of the world 
where lily seed is most extensively grown—the 
Lakes region, the Pacific coast of the United 
States, and England. These seeds represent the 
best and hardiest lilies under cultivation. 
Regale —Our stock of this is taken from bulbs 
that are held expressly for seed production, and 
will give the very best results, both in germina¬ 
tion and vitality. We plant in frames in early 
May. Seed germinates in about two weeks. Let 
the little plants stand until fall, when the bulbs 
should be lifted and stored in dry sand in a 
cool place, free from frost, and then planted out 
again in May. The second fall lift the bulbs and 
plant about 3 in. deep in a permanent situation.
