LILIES FROM SEED 
Every year at Old Orchard we grow thousands of Lily 
bulbs from seed, sowings being made directly in open 
ground beds in latest autumn, or in earliest spring. You 
ean grow them from seed, too, if you will just follow the 
key letter directions after the species names (see page 66 
for explanation). Further directions will be in in’: vet? 
leaflet sent with seeds. Remember that some kinds are 
quicker and easier than are others, species differing in this 
as much as they do in color and form. The easier ones 
are marked with key letter “e’’.
