Raising Your Own Natives From Seed 
LILY SEEDS. These should be planted in the Fall. Cold weather is essential for the 
germination of our Lily Seeds. Where the temperature goes down to freezing plant 
in boxes out doors in soil composed of % sifted garden loam, I /4 sand and ^ leaf 
mold or finely sifted peat moss. Where the Winters are warm put seeds in re¬ 
frigerator for a week. While in the refrigerator put seeds in some dry absorbent 
medium such as peat moss in a closed container. 
Never allow seed boxes to dry out. Screens of burlap or lathes should protect from a 
hot sun. Some seeds do not show any growth the first year so do not discard 
the box and do not move little bulbs until the second year. 
PERENNIAL SEEDS. A gardener can be safe if he gives our perennial seeds the same 
treatment as for LILY seeds up to the time of setting out small stock as seedlings 
should be large enough to set out the first Spring in a well prepared garden. In 
the East sow in the Spring as early as possible. 
Annual Seeds. Prepare gardens where you wish your flowers as soon as possible in 
the Spring. Cover seeds very lightly. Many gardeners imagine that because seeds 
ore natives they need no special care, but, they should hove same care as any 
other seeds. 
We guarantee our seeds to be fresh and true to name only. In accordance with all 
seed houses we give no other warranty, expressed or implied. 
Seeds of all our plants are 10c per pkg. or 6 for 50c, as we cannot ship less than that.
