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. 
AMABILE—kt(2)30. Friendly Lily. Large, recurved flowers of 
grenadine orange, chocolate dotted. An easy garden Lily of 
much beauty. Pkt. 20c; 4 oz. 70c. 
AURATUM—cbyt (38-4) 60. The 
Great Gold-banded Lily. Big |; 
flowers with wide, white petals, 
each petal centered with a gol- ! 
den stripe, often with roseate | 
dotting. Illustrated below. Seed- 
grown stock is quite long-lived. 
Pkt. 20c; eg oz. 40c; % oz. T5e. 
AURATUM EXTRA HARDY— 
Selected from a strain found 
growing in the extreme north | 
of Japan, this stock is claimed | 
to show high resistance to win- 
ter damage in cold climates. | 
New growth starts later in the 
spring, yet blossoming begins 
about two weeks earlier than 
with the regular Auratum. Also 
the plants are somewhat shorter, 
though the flowers are large. Pkt. 40c; 3 pkts. for $1.10. 
AURATUM EARLY-FLOWERING—A special strain of Aura- 
tum that blooms some three to six weeks earlier than the 
regular Auratum, which it otherwise resembles. Pkt. 35c; 
8 pkts. for $1.00. 
AURATUM DISEASE-RESISTANT STRAIN—Seeds saved 
from a clone of Auratum that seems fully resistant to mosaic 
disease. Auratum is naturally a long-lived lily. It is simply 
the prevalence of mosaic in so many stocks of it that has 
caused it to be thought of short life-duration. This mosaic- 
resistant strain should make Auratum as easy, and enduring, 
as Regale. Pkt. 75¢c; 3 pkts. (customer limit) for $2.00. 
BELLINGHAM HYBRIDS—kt(3)60. Superb hybrid strain of 
west coast Lilies with long-lasting flowers that range from

heads of many flowers. Pkt. 35c; 3 pkts. for $1.00.
