COMPLETE LILY SEED LIST 
Most lilies are easily grown from seed and hardy in the North. They should be 
planted in a well prepared bed where no manure has been recently added. The ideal 
bed would be the one prepared a year before and covered with a mulch. Sand should 
be mixed with the soil for best results. Lilies can be quickly grown from bulbs, del- 
ivered in the fall or from seed which are not hard to grow. For growing from seed 
the species are divided into two groups according to the method used in germinating 
them. Those marked (A) plant the seed outdoors in late fall when they germinate 
the following spring with no top growth the first year; transplant to the nursery row 
the 2nd or 3rd year. Those marked (B) sow in March or April outdoors or a month 
earlier indoors; they take about 3-6 weeks to germinate; carry the seedlings over the 
first year and transplant to the nursery rows the 2nd spring. There are other short 
cut methods which will be described in these colums from time to time.

PIONEER SEED COMPANY — 
DIMONDALE MICHIGAN 
GREENHOUSE 
We shall carry a column each month under 
this heading in which we will list items of int- 
erest to those having greenhouse space 
Cultural information is probably most in- 
teresting but we will be pleased to print any 
short articles from our readers on subjects 
of interest from the building and operation of 
the greenhouse to the raising and marketing 
of the plants and flowers grown. Make it 
your column, it’s YOURS. 
GREENHOUSE CUTTINGS IN AUGUST 
The month of August is the time to put 
in cuttings of the following plants. 
Acacia, half ripened wood, 60-70 degrees. 
Akebia, half ripened wood, 45-50 degrees. 
Alternanthera, in sand when rooted in flats; 
pot up in April, 60 degrees. 
Aucuba, half ripened wood, 50-60 degrees. 
Buddleia, soft wood in greenhouse. 
Camellia, in late summer, ripened wood, 
60-70 degrees F. 
Coleus, September, 60-65 degrees F. 
English Ivy, 50-60 degrees F. 
Euphorbia fulgens, Scarlet Piume. 
Heliotrope should have been taken in July, 
soft wood, 60 degrees, F. 
Pachysandra, green wood. 
GREENHOUSE SEEDING SCHEDULE 
If you have greenhouse space the following 
should be planted from seed during August, 
to have them in flower at the proper time this 
winter. 
Asparagus can be sown at any time now 
for late foliage. 
Bellis, in coldframe, give shade until the 
seedlings are up. 
C,ineraria about the middle of August. 
Cyclamen from July to January, use half 
leaf mold and half sand. 
Kentia, keep in greenhouse at 75-80 de- 
grees F. 
Pansies, in coldframe, first half of August. 
Perennials,, most all kinds for next. year’s 
growing outside. 
Sweet Peas seed sown August 20th will 
be in bloom for Christmas. For January 
flowers sow September ist and the main 
crop September 15th. 
Vinca rosea, late August, in coldframe, the 
plants, of course, will have to be wintered 
inside. 
SIBERIAN IRIS 
At the beginning of August the: Sibétian 
Iris are laden with their seed pods and unlike 
the other Irises, the pods on this species are 
really attractive as well as the leaves. If the 
plants have enough room so that they stand 
out alone, they have a very graceful appear- 
ance. Keep the ground always mulched 
under them and you will not have the fips 
of the leaves turing brown; if a dry spell oc- 
curs it will pay to see that they get a good 
soaking twice a week; probably just a little 
nitrate of soda placed on the soil just before 
watering will benefit the color of the leaves, 
say 2-3 tablespoonsfull around each large 
plant. They grow 3-4 feet tall and should 
have a space of at least 3 feet apart. 
African Violet germinates in 2-3 weeks. 
Always press seed into the seed bed.
