THE GLORIOUS LILIES 
The Lilies are treasuries of beauty, flowers for 
the discriminating, but available to all. No other 
flower can show such colorful loveliness, nor 
quite equal their stately majesty. 
The easiest way to be sure of healthy bulbs, 
or to propagate Lilies in quantity, is to grow 
them from seed. Nothing very difficult about it 
either, if directions in cultural leaflet sent with 
each order, are followed. Of course it must be 
realized that seeds of some Lilies sprout quickly, 
while other kinds may need much more time to 
germinate, but patience costs little, and will be 
rewarded. Those inexperienced had best start 
with the kinds marked “e”.
