3 LILIES FROM SEED 
Lilies are fairly easy from seed. We grow thousands of 
them that way every year at Old Orchard. Just follow the 
directions on the cultural circular that comes with the seeds, 
sowing, of course, at season indicated by key letters after 
variety names in the catalog. Explanation of key letters is 
on catalog page one. Those without experience should start 
with the easier kinds, here marked with letter “e.”
