LILY 
SEEDS 
HEM E ROC ALLIS, 
MIKADO 
As T have said before, I do not sell seed from mv own nursery. I disbud to 
give the full strength to the bulb, but when an offer was tendered me to sell 
seeds of some of the varieties on commission, I thought this might be a good 
opportunity for the many calls I have had from customers for lily seed. 
These come from a very reliable nursery, and yet, just as with the lily bulbs, 
I cannot guarantee that YOU will have success. It takes work and much care 
over a period of from one to many years to grow lily bulbs from seed, according 
to the variety; yet it IS interesting, if one has patience. 
The number of seed in each packet varies according to the variety, and all 
orders will have to be accepted according to the stock available this season.

It is best to grow these seed in a cold frame unless otherwise designated, and 
according to the season as mentioned. In the summer change from cold frame 
sash to lath covers. Sow seed Vi inch, and let them remain in the cold frame a 
year before planting them out in the open ground. Please be very careful in 
transplanting not to injure the roots or the base of the bulb.
