LILIES FROM SEED 
Thousands of Lilies are grown from seed every year at 
our Old Orchard Nurseries, sowings made directly in open 
ground seed-beds in very late autumn or else in earliest 
spring. You can grow them from seed too, simply by fol- 
lowing the key letter directions here and their amplification 
in the instruction leaflet sent out with seeds. Please, though, 
remember that some kinds of Lilies are much quicker. and 
easier than others, species differing in this respect as much 
as they do in color and form. We suggest that you start 
with the kinds marked “e,’’ indicative relative ease of 
culture.

the condensed listings at bottom of page. Some fine things
