3 LILIES FROM SEED 
Lilies are fairly easy from seed. At Old Orchard we have 
so produced them by the thousands. Just follow directions 
on cultural circular that comes with the seeds, sowing, of 
course, at seasons indicated by key letters after the catalog 
listings. Explanation of key letters on catalog page one. 
AURATUM—cbyt(3-4)60. The Great Gold-banded Lily. Big 
flowers with wide, white petals, each petal centered with a 
golden stripe. Sometimes lightly dotted or banded with crim-

quite long-lived. Pkt. 20c; 6 oz. 40c; % oz. T5c.

growing in the extreme north of Japan, this stock is claimed

are large. Offered subject to arrival. Pkt. 50c.
