LILIUM SEEDS 
A great majority of Liliums come quite readily 
from seeds. Some like regale and all its hybrids, 
Willmottiae, Davidi, Formosanum, Henryi, tenui- 
folium, umbellatum, candidum Salonikae var., ama- 
bile concolor, longiflorum and elegans will usually 
germinate within a month. On the other hand aura- 
tum, speciosum, martagon, Marhan, the Backhouse 
hybrids, giganteum Himalaicum, and all North 
American varieties are very slow, some requiring as 
much as 12 months to germinate, some of these will 
make a small bulb but no leaves the first season. 
Sowing may be done under glass, in the home in 
winter, or in cold frames, or the open about May 1. 
Rather late fall before sharp frosts is another good 
time to sow seeds outdoors or in a frame. Started 
early, Formosanum will flower the first season, a 
number of others will bloom the second season. 
Seeds may be sown in either shallow drills or 
broadcasted, cover not over % inch. For soil a mix- 
ture of garden soil, sand and either leaf mold or peat 
moss answers very well. 
Unless otherwise priced seeds are 25 cents per 
pkt.; 12 vars., for $2.00; larger pkts. for 50 cents 
and $5.00 per doz. We will be happy to make up 
collection of easy germinating varieties for those 
wishful for a start in raising Lilies from seed.
