Note: Fall Sowing period indicates September 1 to December 1; Winter, 
December 1 to March 1; Spring, March 1 to June 1. 
Hot Bed sowing indicates hot bed or greenhouse with night temperature of 
60 degrees F. 
Lily seed germination period in these tables is based upon first appearance of 
top growth from time of sowing. Many of the slower species germinate under¬ 
ground a considerable time before showing top growth. 
Germination is dependent upon condition of the seed, weather, time and loca¬ 
tion of the sowing. A variance of these factors will affect the germination periods 
noted above, same having been determined under conditions in our nursery. 
SPRAY AND DUSTING MATERIALS 
In answer to the reguests of many of our customers we have arranged to offer 
materials for the prevention and control of Botrytis disease which often damages 
Lily plantings, particularly during damp spring weather. The materials we list 
have been used on our own plantings over a period of years with entire success 
and we can fully recommend their effectiveness when properly applied. The
