LILIES IN KOREA 
It is not a common matter to receive letters 
from our soldiers about flowers. This need 
not seem strange for most are very young, 
men and their life not just exactly suited 
for flower hunting. 
However, two letters have been received 
from Clifford Miller, whose home is in Gray, 
Oklohama. 
Korea has long been noted for its lilies and! 
we have gotten many a pound of seed gath- 
ered in the mountains there, especially has 
this been so of L. tennuifolium. However, 
Mr. Miller says, “I saw a great many that 
I think are the same as your L. amabile” 
and he also mentions seeing a pure yellow 
lily but did not get it. We hope that he now 
will be able to secure seed of it but the move- 
ments of troops is such that flower seed hunt- 
ing is out of the question. 
When one is in a position to gather new 
flowers in strange lands it is best that only the 
seed be gathered. If it is possible to observe 
its flowes first, than a fully developed flower 
should be saved, as well as a leaf, pod or any 
part that is out of the ordinary; notes should 
also be taken as to its time of flowering; the: 
soil type; whether moist, dry, etc and, too, 
the general climate of the region. 
FRIENDLY LETTERS 
Continued from Page 84 
the letter, and the subject will be covered in 
detail. 
There is a little more to this, however. 
To cover all species there will have to be 
included the experience of a great many diff- 
erent growers and it will be necessary to 
gather much of this information from our 
reader’s methods, and not just our own, so 
we will look forward to your suggestions. 
Our subscription price of $2.00 per year 
barely covers the cost of printing and mail- 
ing; with the prospect of higher postage, it 
would be best for you to subscribe NOW! 
SPHAGNUM FOR 
GERMINATING

\\ 
(Wy,

Ii is simply impossible to germinate 
many seeds without the use of milled 
sphagnum moss. If you were over your 
seed pans all day long as the professional 
grower is you may find you could get along 
without it, but no professional grower 
would fail to have the fine moss on hand. 
It will save many a packet of valuable seed 
from loss due to an hours neglect, that can- 
not be avoided by one having other duties. 
BUSHEL BAGS: $2.25, postpaid. This 
will last the average grower a year.
