WILLIAM N. CRAIG, WEYMOUTH 
Marhan, the Backhouse hybrids, giganteum Hima- 
laicum, and all North American varieties are very 
slow, some requiring as much as 12 months to 
germinate, some of these will make a small bulb 
but no leaves the first season. 
Sowing may be done under glass or in the home in 
winter, and in cold frames or the open about May 
1. Rather late fall before sharp frosts is another 
good time to sow seeds outdoors or in a frame. 
Started early, Formosanum will flower the first 
season, a number of others will bloom the second 
season. 
Seeds may be sown in either shallow drills or 
broadcasted, cover not over 14 inch. For soil a mix¬ 
ture of garden soil, sand and either leaf mold or 
peat moss answers very well. 
Unless otherwise priced seeds are 25 cents per 
pkt.; 12 vars., for $2.00; larger pkts. for 50 cents 
and $5.00 per doz. We will be happy to make up 
collections of easy germinating varieties for those 
wishful for a start in raising Lilies from seed.
