SEEDS 
Many like to grow their bulbs from seed. The seedlings of hybrids will be 
variable. Seedlings of species will come true to name. Most of these seeds are 
ripe but not all. They will be sent as soon as ripe. We can’t acknowledge small 
seed orders. Don’t worry, they will come when ripe. 
Directions. Plant Clivias and Crinums on top of wet soil in shade. The 
others should be planted from to 1" deep. Plant as soon as received. Some 
are good only for a few weeks. Plant in pans or in outside garden. Soil should 
be rich sandy loam with liberal addition of humus. If top of ground is covered 
with burlap until plants begin to come up it will help to avoid washing soil from 
seed. Keep wet all the time. Spray gently. Give rather less sun exposure 
than advised for mature plants. 
The seedlings bloom in from two years (Iris, Glads, etc.) to six or seven 
(Clivias). Some seed may not start for several months as with Iris. 
The price of all packets is 35c e^ich. The number of seed varies from one 
Clivia seed up. Usually you get from a level to a heaping teaspoon. In some 
cases quantity is stated in parenthesis, thus (12).
