HINTS ON LILY CULTURE 
T HIS was a poor year for seed, 
especially on the early blooming 
Lilies. There was too much rain at 
blooming, time. I have seed of the fol¬ 
lowing and offer it as long as the sup¬ 
ply lasts. It is the same as I sow but 
none is guaranteed to grow. The price 
is 25c for large packets, commonly 
known as trade packets, or 10 smaller 
packets for $1.00. 
Cernuum, columbianum, davuricum, 
Henryi Martagon, Martagon album, 
Maximowiczii, Philippinense formo- 
sanum, regale, Sulphur-gale, superb¬ 
um, pumilum (tenuifolium), Washing - 
tonianum purpureum, Willmottiae, and 
the following hybrids: pardalinumX 
Humbolti, and this hybrid crossed with 
Parryi, Maximowiczii X Willmottiae. 
I also have imported seed of auratum 
and japonicum at the same price. 
I HAVE a few of the formosanum 
Fricei—the dwarf variety. It blooms 
about a month earlier than the tall 
growing one and is said to be hardier. 
I have not grown it long enough to 
lose any by freezing yet so I can’t 
say. It is not to be compared with Wil¬ 
son’s variety as a garden subject, but 
if you want a low-growing Lily of that 
description it is quite satisfactory. 
Plant both.
