EASY LILIES FROM SEED 
Certain species of true Lilies grow from spring- 
sown seed with great readiness, germinating 
within a few weeks time, and making sturdy 
little bulbs by autumn. A fair proportion of 
these bulbs will flower the next spring or sum¬ 
mer, and practically all of them should be full 
blooming size by the year following. It is recom¬ 
mended that seed-beds in which Lily sowings are 
made be shaded from the direct rays of the sum¬ 
mer sun by a cheesecloth or lath screen placed 
some 12 to 16 inches above the bed. This shad¬ 
ing will not only keep the soil cool, but will help 
to prevent excessive drying.

IRIS SIBIRICA HYBRIDS 
The Siberian Irises come from seed more 
readily than do most of the other Iris classes, 
and some flowers may be expected from well- 
grown seedlings the second year. They are won¬ 
derfully variable; pure and suffused whites, lav¬ 
ender, azure, indigo, purple and red-violet ap¬ 
pearing. This seed was saved from sixteen dis¬ 
tinct varieties, so beauties may be expected. 
Pkt. 10c; % oz. 30c.
