LILY SEEDS 
More and more lilies are being grown from 
seeds. Some of them grow to blooming size 
very quickly, others require more time. Sow 
the seeds in flats or ground beds in a cool 
greenhouse or frame; they sprout in 3 to 8 
weeks and may be transplanted when they 
are large enough to handle. 
AURATUM—This grand lily is a little slow to 
germinate. The best method we have ever 
found is to mix the seed with enough moist 
sand to half fill a quart mason jar; just enough 
moisture so that water will not settle in the 
jar. Screw on lid. Place in a warm, light room 
(not direct sun). Seeds germinate in 10 to 12 
weeks and may be transplanted ¥2 inch deep 
in a moist mixture of equal parts sand, soil and 
peat. Dita wAOles

shades of orange, flushed and spotted red.

HALLAWELL’S BASE BRANCHING — 
Tall graceful spikes of colorful double 
flowers, beautiful in the garden and ex- 
cellent for cutting. They thrive in the sun 
but like to be started in cool weather. 
In the mild winter sections of California 
we sow the seeds in open ground No- 
vember to February, then thin them to 
1% to 2 feet apart. In colder climates 
sow early in the spring. They are slow 
to germinate so be patient and keep 
them moist.
