LILY SEEDS 
The growing of lilies from seeds is a fascinating enterprise for any gardener who lias the 
time and facilities to devote to it. A cold frame is an ideal place, but lacking one you may soav 
the seeds in open ground in a well prepared bed. Small furrows about one inch deep and six to 
eight inches apart may be made either cross-wise or length-wise of the bed. The seeds should 
then be scattered evenly in the furrows, covered and gently firmed in. After sowing, the seed 
bed should be shaded to prevent drying out. Lath shades with alternate spaces the width of a 
lath are what we use for this purpose. These may be suspended above the seed beds by placing 
them on boards set edge-wise at the sides of the bed. 
Varieties marked thus (*) are generally sown in the fall, immediately after ripening, as they 
require longer to germinate. A very successful method is to plant these in the summer. Seeds 
thus sown germinate in early fall, forming a tiny bulb from which the first leaf is sent up the 
following spring. 
After one or two years in the seed bed the young bulb should be transplanted to allow more 
space for growth.
