EASY LILIES FROM SEED 
Certain species of true hardy Lilies grow from 
seed with the greatest of 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 cheescloth 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. 
LILIUM HYB. GOLDEN GLEAM—Waxen-pet- 
alled blossoms of rich, dark honey-orange, with 
amber reflections, are carried in great branching 
spires. A sure and satisfactory Lily for border 
or cutting. Pkt. 20c; y 8 oz. 50c. 
LILIUM TENUIFOLIUM — Called Coral Lily, 
but the flowers have more the red intensity, and 
the gloss of finish, that one sees in old Chinese 
lacquer work. A particularly easy species, val¬ 
ued for vivid color. Pkt. 10c; y 8 oz. 30c. 
LILIUM WILMOTTIAE—Blossoms of soft apri¬ 
cot, tinged orange, and dotted ruddy brown; 
sometimes as many as twenty of them to a 
single graceful stem. A hardy, dependable, and 
beautiful Lily. Pkt. 15c; y 8 oz. 40c. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM—Known also as L. 
phillippinense formosanum. Long trumpets of 
translucent snowy whiteness, but with rose suf¬ 
fusions in reverse. Often flowers within eight 
months from seed. Pkt. 10c; % oz. 45c. 
LILIUM HENRYI—A graceful and permanent 
Lily of late summer, with willowy arching stems 
loaded with recurved brittle blossoms of golden 
amber. Thrives in sun or shade. Pkt. 15c; 
y 8 oz. 50c. 
LILIUM SHELBURNE HYBRID—Regale 
crossed on Sargentiae gave us this splendid sturdy 
Lily. It is much like Regale, flaring trumpets of 
rose-tinted primrose-throated white; but it 
blooms later, and is, if anything, larger in flower, 
and more robust in habit. Fragrant. Pkt. 20c. 
LILIUM CONCOLOR—The blossoms are upfac- 
ing stars of brilliant vermilion. A particularly 
easy dwarf Lily for rock garden or bedding. 
Pkt. 15c; y 8 oz. 40c. 
LILIUM CERNUUM—Blossoms of daintiest, most 
alluring lilac-pink, sweetly fragrant. No other 
Lily has just this coloring. Pkt. 15c; y 8 oz. 40c.

HEMEROCALLIS HYBRIDS 
Here are the new Day Lilies that have of late been so 
much in horticultural news. Marvelous tones of lemon, buff, 
gold, orange and copper, with tawny shadings and ruddy 
overlays. Many are fragrant, all are hardy. About half the 
seed in this blend is saved directly from large-flowering 
hybrid named varieties. The balance is product of hand- 
pollenized blooms of such species as Dumortieri, Minor, 
Aurantiaca, Middendorffi, Fulva, Citrina, Flava and Serotina, 
pollen in each instance, and daily, being transferred with 
soft brush, from one species to another. There should be 
rather wonderful variation among the plants produced from 
this seed. Hemerocallis seed grows quite readily if sown 
while soil is cool, late fall or early spring. Any sowings 
made in summer, should be in carefully shaded seed-bed. 
The Day Lilies cut well, and are always ornamental in the 
border. They seem to have no diseases, and given any 
chance at all, they will thriftily take care of themselves. 
Pkt. 15c; oz. 60c; *4 oz. $1.00.
