LILIES FROM SEED 
Hardly think it is necessary to praise the Lily. It is 
already a universally desired and beloved flower. Not every¬ 
one, though, understands that the most certain way to secure 
sturdy and truly healthy bulbs, is to grow them from seed; 
the easiest way, too, to get them in quantity at low cost. 
Nothing very difficult about growing Lilies from seed, 
providing the directions on cultural leaflet sent out with 
each lot of seeds, are followed. Of course, it must be 
realized that seeds of some Lilies sprout quickly, while 
others need much more time to germinate, but patience 
costs little, and will be rewarded. Those inexperienced had 
best start with the kinds marked “e.” 
Most of the easier Lilies give at least some bloom in 
one year from seed, much the second year. The slower 
kinds will begin to flower at two years, but not full showing 
until third year. A very few kinds may need a bit longer. 
In general, the kinds offered at the end of the general 
Lily list under heading “Fifteen Easier Lilies,” are those 
that come most quickly into bloom from seed. All true 
Lilies are bulbs, so key letter “u” has been omitted from 
descriptions.

LILIUM, THE CROW HYBRIDS — ecbh(2-3) 60. For 
many years the late Prof. J. W. Crow, of Ontario, worked 
with hybrids of Liliums Sargentiae, sulphureum and regale, 
crossing and recrossing until the characteristics of all three 
species were intermingled and blended in new and delight¬ 
ful combinations. Seedlings of this strain vary wonder¬

yellow, brown and rose appear in happy timings and shad¬ 
ings. Pkt. 25c.

saved, there were blossom cups of soft yellow, apricot 
buff, tawny orange, scarlet and even maroon, with diverse 
and attractive blendings. This is an easy and sure species.

flower-cups, in orange, yellow, apricot and red. Pkt. 15c; 
54 oz. 60c; 54 oz. $1.00. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM ROSE-TINTED — *ecbh(htw) 
50. Formerly listed as L. philippinense formosanum. With 
me, seed sown in open ground seed beds in March usually 
produces a few bulbs that will give flowers by late Sep¬ 
tember or October, and almost without exception all seed¬ 
ling bulbs will flower freely the next summer. If grown 
in pots, will often bloom (from new off-sets) two or three 
times a year. In the open ground it survives Maine winters 
without protection. The flowers are long trumpets of trans¬ 
lucent snowy whiteness, but with rose suffusions on the 
reverse. Very lovely. Pkt. 10c; 54 oz. 45c; 1 oz. $1.50. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM PURE WHITE —Like the 
above strain in every way, save that the blossom trumpets 
are of an exquisite pearly whiteness, without color suffusion.

LILIUM GIGANTEUM—stmy(3) 120. A noble Himalayan

above heart-shaped leaves. Rather slow germinating. Pkt. 
15c; 54 oz. 90c.

trumpets, splashed purple within, above broad leaves with 
metallic burnish. Pkt. 25c.

beautiful and unusual hybrid of tenuifolium and martagon 
album. Richest honey-orange, with waxen sheen. Quick 
and easy from seed, flowering freely for a long time. Pkt. 
20c; 54 oz. 60c; 54 oz. $1.00. 
LILIUM HENRYI—ecbh(3-4)50. A graceful Lily of late 
summer, the willowy arching stems loaded with recurved 
brittle blossoms of deepest golden amber. A dependable 
and long-lived species, thriving in sun or shade. Excellent 
in the border or for cutting. Pkt. 15c; Ys oz. 50c; 54 oz. 
85c; 1 oz. $3.00.

ingly from palest blush to rosy carmine. Hardy in well- 
drained soil with some winter mulching, or it is highly 
satisfactory grown in pots. A very lovely Lily. Pkt. 15c;

open pale pink, but deepen to lilac. Carries the fragrance 
of Clematis. Pkt. 20c; Ys oz. 75c. 
LILIUM LONGIFLORUM — ecblth(2)40. Easter Lily. 
Snow white trumpets. Delightfully fragrant. Much grown 
as a pot Lily, since it forces wonderfully, but it is of very 
reasonable hardiness in the garden, too. It needs no winter 
protection at Philadelphia, and as far north as Boston at 
least, it seems to be safe if planted deeply and protected 
with straw. Sure to bloom in one year from seed. Pkt. 15c; 
54 oz. 75c. 
LILIUM LONGIFLORUM TAKESIMA—ecblth(2)36. A
