3 LILIES FROM SEED 
Lilies are fairly easy from seed. At Old Orchard we have 
s0 produced them, literally by the hundreds of thousand, in 
years past. Just follow the directions on the cultural circular 
that comes with the seeds, sowing, of course, at seasons indi- 
cated by key letters after the catalog listings. Explanation 
of key letters on catalog page one. Those without experience 
should start with the easier kinds, marked with letter ‘“e’’.
