LILIES FROM SEED 
A Wonderful Lily 
Lilium Philippinense Formosanum 
Flowers Similar to Easter Lily; Easily Grown from Seed; Blossoms the 
Same Season Seed is Planted 
It is one of the most wonderful Lilies in existence. Seed sown in February, March 
and April produces plants that come into flower in the fall of the same year, and 
keep on flowering continuously year after year. After the flowers are over, new 
suckers come out from the same bulb and the bulb itself increases. Will have as 
many as ten flowers on a single stem under proper culture. Flowers are of purest 
white tinted purple outside, about the same size and form as Easter Lily. Delight¬ 
fully fragrant. They are excellent both for pot culture and for garden. 
A florist in Pennsylvania planted some of the seed in January and on June 26th 
wrote that the flowers were then ready to open. 
The second year they flower more freely, very often as many as ten flowers on a 
single stem. These flower stems appear one after another, two or three times a year 
from the same bulb. In the course of two to three years they will make a flue 
clump of Lily plants and will produce a mass of flowers in August and from then on 
continuously, by throwing new suckers from the roots. 
Sow the seed in shallow boxes or pans, using rather light soil, and transplant when 
jvith or 6 leaves. Pkt.. 25c: 5 nkts.. $1,00, For bulbs, see nage 89.
