LILY SEED GERMINATION 
As a guide to those interested in growing lilies from seed, we offer the follow¬ 
ing table of germination periods which we have arrived at after a number of years 
of careful trial sowings. Most species listed have been tried in a variety of loca¬ 
tions and sowing times and those indicated for each will in our present opinion 
give best results. It is our intention to amplify this information during future 
seasons from further tests which we are conducting continuously.
