81 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.

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.

crossing and recrossing until the character- 
istics of all three species were intermingled

waxen whiteness, but at times with a soft, and delightful, 
rosy suffusion. Seeds of it sown in open ground seed beds 
in March, (or late the fall before), will produce at least 
some bulbs that will give flowers the first September, and
