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—tThis 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. Pkt.-75c. 
DAURICUM—The lovely ‘upright flowers are in 
shades of orange, flushed and spotted red. 
Height 1% to 2 feet. Pkt. 50c. 
HENRYII—A fine Chinese species, often re- 
ferred to as “Orange Speciosum"™. The flowers 
‘are bright golden yellow spotted brown, often 
as many as 20 to the plant. They grow 5 to 8 
feet and are excellent for cutting. Pkt. 50c. 
PHILIPPINENSE FORMOSANUM (Late variety) 
—A superior form of the trumpet lily which we 
recommend highly. It blooms late in the sum- 
mer, bears up to eight flowers on a stem and 
grows 4 to 6 feet tall. Is fragrant. Prefers warm 
sunny situations. Pkt. 50c. 
REGALE— The trumpet-shaped flowers are 
white, slightly suffused pink with a beautiful 
shade of canary yellow at the center. Hardy
