late October, on through early winter, germination expected in 
spring. This includes seeds of Lilies, Primulas, Gentians, Irises, 
Aconitum and the some hundreds of others marked in our General 
Catalog #59 with the cultural key letters KT, YT, or Y. We suggest

letter W, may be sown under glass year around. If you do not have
