LILIES FROM SEED 
As we have had many requests for seed we have arranged to of- 
fer a limited number of varieties. Seeds should be planted about % 
inch deep and may be sown in the open, but can be controlled more 
readily if planted either in a cold frame, or in flats in the house. The 
Species starred (*) should germinate in from a month to six weeks— 
the others are slow and though they germinate underground will not 
show their first growth above ground until the second summer. A 
light mulch of spaghnum or peat moss is helpful in maintaining an 
even soil moisture. During the last two years we have had marked 
success in growing lilies from seed in the sterile artificial soil, 
SANDYLOAM SEED STARTER, withLIQUA-VITA as a food. (See 
page 28). 
Seeds of the following are priced at 25c per packet and the number 
of seeds in each packet varies according to the rarity of the species. 
While hybrid lilies do not come true from seed, it should be noted that 
the possibilities in such a packet are most fascinating for the gardener.
