LILIES FROM SEED 
Nothing very difficult about growing Lilies fram seed, 
providing the directions on cultural leaflet sent out with 
each lot of seeds, are followed. Of course, it must be 
realized that seeds of some Lilies sprout quickly, while 
others need much more time to germinate, but patience 
costs little, and will be rewarded. Those inexperienced had 
best start with the kinds marked “e."

low at base. A rarity. Pkt. 20c; & oz. 50c.

LILIUM, THE CROW HYBRIDS — ecbh(2-3) 60. For 
many years the late Prof. J. W. Crow, of Ontario, worked 
with hybrids of Liliums Sargentiae, sulphureum and regale, 
crossing and recrossing until the characteristics of all three 
species were intermingled and blended in new and delight¬ 
ful combinations. Seedlings of this strain vary wonder¬ 
fully in height, season, color and habit. White, cream, pale 
yellow, brown and rose appear in happy timings and shad¬ 
ings. Pkt. 25c. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM ROSE-TINTED — *ecbh(htw) 
50. Formerly listed as L. philippinense formosanum. With 
me, seed sown in open ground seed beds in March usually 
produces a few bulbs that will give flowers by late Sep¬ 
tember or October, and almost without exception all seed¬ 
ling bulbs will flower freely the next summer. If grown 
in pots, will often bloom (from new off-sets) two or three 
times a year. In open ground, survives Maine winters. 
Flowers are long trumpets of snowy whiteness, but with 
delightful rose suffusions on reverse. Illustrated, page 3. Pkt.
