Lilium Seeds 
The growing of lilies from seeds is a fascinating enterprise for any gardener 
who has the time and facilities to devote to it. The majority of kinds come readily 
from seed, some within three weeks, some three months, a few as much as a year. 
American native lilies should be planted in prepared beds or cold frames in the 
fall. The same applies to the Japanese lilies, Giganteum himalaicum, the Marhan 
and Martagon lilies. The rest of those we list should be planted out in early 
spring or at any time in a greenhouse. 
We offer the following fresh seeds of the 1934 crop, generous packets. 
Instructions will be supplied to those desiring them.

lished before winter sets in. Where winters are severe, plantings of Lilium sul¬ 
phureum, Montbretias and Tigridias are safer made in the spring. Send us your 
order and we shall hold it for you if you wish. 25% payment will hold until ship¬ 
ping time.
