LILIES FROM SEED 
Lilies grow rather readily from autumn-sown seeds, good, 
strong germination in most instances taking place the 
following spring. At our Old Orchard Seed Gardens we 
make the bulk of our Lily seed sowings in late autumn, 
although there are a few kinds that we sow also in March 
and April. Circular of directions sent with seeds. We 
have room here for brief descriptions only of a few Lily 
specialties. Look in my General Catalog No. 27 for full 
listings of some eighty distinct kinds of Lilies, all available 
now. If you have mis-placed your copy, we shall be glad 
to send you another.

BABY LILY BULB SPECIAL 
Here are sound little one-season bulbs, true Liliums, win¬ 
ter-hardy for garden planting, mostly from seeds sown this 
spring or last fall, but a few of them will be young off-sets 
from mother bulbs. They are offered in run of the bed 
sizes, just as dug, and in mixture of kinds only. I guarantee 
that there will be bulbs of not less than seven distinct and 
beautiful lily species in each lot of bulbs sent out. Usually 
there will be far more than this, _ for I grow each season 
small lots of very many kinds of lilies iff order to replenish 
and increase the stocks that I use in producing the seeds 
that I sell. Of these baby-size lily bulbs, a few will usually 
give flowers the first spring or summer. The rest wil-1 soon 
grow into beauty. This is your opportunity to get fine 
lilies in quantity, sturdy kinds that will eventually give a 
gorgeous border display. Not less than 40 are sold, and no 
reduction in price is made for larger sales, but as long as 
the bulbs last, there is no limit on the number of 40’s that 
one customer may buy. Please note, though, that I choose 
the kinds, I do not keep them separate, and I cannot tell, 
either before filling an order or afterwards, exactly which 
particular kinds may be in any given lot. The lots are put 
up in quantity, and special instructions cannot be followed, 
but you will get wonderful value. SPECIAL BABY LILY 
OFFER (postage extra of course, as on all bulbs) 40 bulbs 
for ONE DOLLAR.
