LILIES FROM SEED 
Many lilies may be successfully grown from seed sown outdoors in well 
prepared beds. However, it is quicker and easier, especially with small lots, 
if the seed is sown in flats or ground beds in a cool greenhouse or frame. The 
easy germinating species are best sown in early spring and the slower kinds in 
the summer or early fall for germination the following spring. These slower 
sorts require a period of warmth followed by a period of cold before top growth 
will appear. Provide shade during the summer by the use of lath covers 
which may replace the cold frame sash during the summer months. One-half 
inch is sufficiently deep to sow the seed when protection is offered from heavy 
rains. 
Seedlings of the easy kinds are best transplanted into nursery rows the 
spring following germination while those of the slow germinators should re- 
main in the seed bed two years before transplanting. Seedlings may also be 
grown on in pots or plant bands in a greenhouse or frame. This method is 
desirable when handling the more tender sorts or those which, due to their 
rarity, should be given special attention. A light mulch of peat moss spread 
over the seed bed after germination will assist in keeping the soil surface 
evenly moist. Use care in transplanting so that the delicate young roots are not 
broken. 
Subject to crop, we offer 1941 seed of the following species in liberal packets at
