Lilies from Seed 
Growing lily bulbs from seed is becoming a popular hobby 
with amateur gardeners. Really fine bulbs can be raised from 
seed with a little patience and care. Seeds should be sown in 
flats of soil prepared by mixing good garden loam with equal 
parts’ of sand and leaf mold or peat, covering with %-inch 
of sifted mixture. Press firmly and soak the flat in water 
after which it is placed in a shady place to await germination 
Seed may be sown at any time. The little plants first make 
root growth and bulbs before showing any impressive top 
growth. They should be transplanted the second year into larger 
flats of prepared soil with a little bone meal or to specially 
prepared beds outdoors. The following year they should be 
large enough to go into the garden. Species germinating readily 
-are marked with an asterisk (*) before the name.
