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 au¬ 
tumn, 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 our General Catalog No. 29 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, 
winter-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. 1 
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 in 
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 will 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.
