3 LILIES FROM SEED 
At Old Orchard we grow thousands of lily bulbs from 
seed, sowings made in open-ground beds in latest autumn 
or earliest spring. Certainly you can grow them from seed 
just as well as we. Just follow the planting times indicated 
by the key letters after species names (see explanation page 
1), and the general sowing directions given in the leaflet 
of cultural information sent with each seed shipment. Re- 
member, some lilies come up quickly, other species naturally 
take a very much longer time. Until you have gained ex- 
perience, it is well to select the kinds marked “e’’, indicating 
relative ease of handling. It will be noted that Liliums 
Bakerianum, Nepalensis, Ochraceum, Thomsonianum, Poly- 
phyllum, Macrophyllum, Neilgherrense and Wallichianum 
come from Nepal, Burma and India, and mostly lack full 
hardiness, though some of them will winter outside if well 
protected. Safest way in the North is to handle this group 
as pot plants.
