31 LILIES FROM SEED 
At Old Orchard we grow thousands of Lilies from seed 
every year, sowings made in open ground seed beds. There 
is nothing very difficult about doing it. You can grow 
them too, by following the cultural directions given by 
the key letters after the names, and amplified _ in the 
leaflet of instructions that we enclose with seed shipments. 
Of course you will realize that Lilium species differ in 
speed of germination, just as they differ in color. Some 
kinds are naturally much quicker and easier than are 
others. We suggest that those who have not grown Lilies 
from seed before, start with the kinds marked with key 
letter "e”, passing later to the more difficult species after 
they have succeeded with these easier ones. 
See end of Lilium list for prices on seeds of kinds not 
found in regular positions. There is not room to describe 
all, but those at the end are just as good kinds, just as 
fresh seed, as are the others. 
LILIUM AMABILE—ecbkt(2)30. We like this one. The 
flowers are large, with recurved petals of grenadine orange, 
marked chocolate. A free-blooming, pleasant and easy spe¬ 
cies, well-named the Friendly Lily. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c; 
% oz. 75c. 
LILIUM AURATUM PLATYPHYLLUM—cbaty(3)60. The 
Great Gold-banded Lily. Giant flowers with wide thick 
petals of pure white, each petal centered with a gold band 
embossment. Rich fragrance. This is the finest- form of 
Lilium auratum. Seedling bulbs, being healthy, are par¬ 
ticularly persistent. Pkt. 10c; % oz, 30c; % oz. 50c. 
LILIUM CALLOSUM—ercbkt(3) 38. Spire-sterns that carry 
very many medium-size flowers of an odd shade of tawny 
cinnabar, with tones of apricot. It is really a most at¬ 
tractive Lily, and of unusual appearance. Pkt. 15c. 
LILIUM CANADENSE—cbyt(3)70, A pretty Lily, with 
many pendulous flowers that are flaring bells of lemon, 
orange or sometimes red, with all variations within this 
range. Pkt. 15c; ^ oz. 25c; % oz. 40c. 
LILIUM CANDIDUM—cby(2)50. The snowy Madonna Lily.

leucanthum variety. 7 seeds for 25c; 32 seeds for $1.00 
LILIUM CENTIFOLIUM HYBRIDS—cby(3)60. Centifolium, 
crossed with Sargentiae gives here a Lily better for our 
American climate than is either parent. Adaptable and 
hardy. 10 seeds for 25c; 50 seeds for $1.00. 
LILIUM CERNUUM—ecrkt(2)25. Lilac Lily. Nodding re¬ 
flexed blossoms of most dainty alluring lilac pink. No 
other Lily has just this coloring, and there is a sweet 
fragrance. Pkt. 15c; oz. 40c. 
LILIUM COLCHICUM (Szovitsianum)—cby(2)50. Splendid, 
fragrant, rich yellow. Caucasus. Pkt. 25c. 
LILIUM CONCOLOR—The vividly colorful Red Star Lily, 
many upfacing, star-pointed flowers of rich vermillion. Easy 
and quick, and like Lilium cernuum, it is not too large for 
the rock garden, but it will fit the border likewise. A satis¬ 
factory and beautiful species, Pkt. 10c; oz, 25c; % oz. 
35c; ^ oz. 60c; 1 oz. $2.00. 
LILIUM CROCEUM—cby(2)33. The Orange Lily, a splen¬ 
did species, with upstanding chalices of radiant, glowing 
orange brightness. Subspecies of L. bulbiferum, Pkt. 15c, 
LILIUM THE CROW HYBRIDS—ecbkt(2-3)60. For many 
years the late Prof. J. W. Crow, of Ontario, worked with 
hybrids of Liliums Sargentiae, sulphureum and regale cross¬ 
ing and recrossing until the characteristics of all three 
species were intermingled and blended in new and delightful 
combinations. Seedlings of this strain vary wonderfully in 
height, season, color and habit. White, cream, pale yellow, 
brown and rose appear in varied dainty combinations of 
tintings. We are happy to be able to lower the price this 
season. Pkt. 15c; 1/32 oz. 35c ; ^ oz. 65c. 
LILIUM DAVID I—ecbkt(3)40. Charmingly recuryed blos- 
some of a shade between apricot and cinnabar, with black 
dottings and orange reflections. A graceful and hardy Lily 
of easiest culture that we can fully recommend. Pkt. 15c; 
5 ^ oz, 25c; % oz. 40c; % oz, 75c; 1 oz. $2.75. 
LILIUM DAVURICUM—ecbkt(2-3)30. Candlestick Lily. In 
the planting at Old Orchard from which this seed was 
saved, were great cup-blossoms of softest yellow, buff-apri¬ 
cot, tawny orange, scarlet, and even maroon, with all pos¬ 
sible combinations among them. This is an easy, sure, and 
showy species. Pkt. 15c ; ^ oz. 40c, 
LILIUM ELEGANS—ecbkt(2-3)25. Another fine cup-liliy, 
in widely varied and attractive colorings. Pkt. 15c. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM ROSE-TINTED — *ecbkt(3)50. 
Formerly known as Lilium philippinense formosanum. 
Seeds sown in open ground seed beds in March (or late 
the fall before), usually produce a few bulbs that will give 
flowers by that September, and almost without exception 
the rest of the seedlings will flower freely the next sum¬ 
mer. In open ground this Lily survives Maine winters. 
The flowers are long trumpets of snowy whiteness, but 
with delightful rose suffusions in reverse. Illustrated, page 
44. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % oz. 40c; 1 oz. $1.50. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM PURE WHITE—Like the above 
in every way, save that it has been long selected to elim¬ 
inate all trace of color suffusion from the flower. Now 
about 70% of the blossoms are likely to be of an exquisite 
pearly whiteness, no rosiness at all. Although personally 
I prefer the delicate roseate suffusion of the regular strain, 
others do not: and the white can be very lovely, too. Pkt. 
10c; % oz. 35c; % oz. 60c; 1 oz. $2.00. 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM GIANT WHITE SPECIAL—A 
special fixed line-selection made by an eminent Japanese 
horticulturist. It is said to come altogether true, flowers 
much larger than in other strains of Lilium formosanum, 
and always of a pure stainless white. Pkt. 20c, 
LILIUM FORMOSANUM PRICE’S VARIETY—*ecbh(3)25. 
An altogether distinct alpine race that flowers much earlier 
than other strains, in June here. Coloring is like Lilium 
formosanum Rose-tinted, For full description, see page 4. 
Pkt, 15c; oz. $1.00. 
LILIUM GIGANTEUM—stmy(3)120. A noble Himalayan 
Lily. Marvelous spikes of down-hanging white trumpets 
above great heart-shaped leaves. Slow-germinating, slow 
growing, but in its culmination, altogether spectacular. 
Pkt. 15c; % oz. 50c, 
LILIUM GOLDEN GLEAM—ecrbkt(2)36. A very lovely 
Lily, practically a Tenuifolium in richest honey orange, 
with waxen sheen. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c. 
LILIUM HENRYI—ecbkt(3-4)50. A most graceful Lily of 
late summer, arching stems that are weighted with re¬ 
curved, wax-petaled blossoms of deepest golden amber. A 
dependable and long-lived species, tolerant of sun, but 
rather preferring deep, loamy soil in light shade. Excellent 
in herbaceius border. Pkt. 15c; % oz. 40c; % oz, 75c.
