GENERAL DIRECTIONS 
Most Lilies may be successfully grown from 
seed sown outdoors in well prepared beds. 
However, it is quicker and easier, especially 
for small lots, to sow in flats. Cold frames and 
electric hot beds also work well. The easy 
varieties are best sown in early spring, the 
slow kinds in summer or early fall to germi- 
nate the next spring. Provide lath shade 
during the summer. One-half inch is suf- 
ficiently deep to cover when protection is 
provided from heavy rains. Seedlings may 
be potted when the first true leaves appear 
or allowed to grow on in the frame until a 
year old. They may then be lined out in 
nursery rows in Open ground. Use care in 
transplanting not to break the tiny rootlets. 
A quick method of germinating seed that is 
recommended for Auratum and some others, 
is to mix the seed with a small quantity of 
clean moist sand and place the mixture in a 
glass jar, making sure you can see some of 
the seed next to the glass. Screw the lid on 
tight and put the jar in a warm place such 
as the top shelf in the kitchen where a nearly 
steady temperature of 70 degrees is held. In 
six weeks to three months, small bulblets will 
form. These may be sown outside any time 
the ground is not frozen but protect from 
heaving by frost with a heavy mulch. Keep 
moist and shade in the summer. 
Check the catalog descriptions of the vari- 
eties in selecting those you want to grow from 
seed. Choose those for which you can pro- 
vide the right cultural environment.
