Lilies from Seed LUiumm 
Lilies are easily grown from seed 
and last for many years once they 
have become established. They re¬ 
quire well-drained soil, to which has 
been added a generous quantity of 
leaf mold. While the flowers de¬ 
light in full sun, the base of the 
plants requires light shade.

a touch of canary-yellow deep in the

scented. One of the most beautiful 
and easiest grown of all lilies. Seed
