Lilies Grom Seed 
Growing Lilies from seed may well be the 
gardeners most thrilling adventure. That these 
tiny wafer-like seed can produce such breath- 
taking flowers is a never ending marvel. Seed- 
ling Lilies are disease free and unless infected 
from other Lilies, remain so. Many varieties 
are available and for a small outlay you can 
produce many fine bulbs. There is no fortune 
in Lily growing but there is a wealth of inter- 
esting adventure and pleasure far exceeding 
your fondest expectations. 
We have divided the list into two groups, the 
easy and quick, and the slow and sometimes 
difficult. Both contain many fine varieties and 
the slower ones are well worth waiting for. 
From these seed you might produce the 
world’s most beautiful Lily-who knows? 
We offer a limited list that we expect to be 
able to supply throughout the year. Limited 
quantities of many other varieties are avail- 
able. If interested, please send a stamped, 
addressed envelope for list, ready in October.
