HARRY E. SAIER -- Dimondale, Mich. 
Growing Amaryllis 
Bulbs from Seed 
By Mrs. Nicie D. Crown, Florida. 
Make a seed bed about five feet wide; 
spade or dig the soil well to about eight 
inches. Shovel this soil out and place in 
the bottom of the bed some well rotted cow 
manure. I use a mixture of loam, leaf-mold; 
the latter from under a Hickory or Oak. 
They like a soil that does not pack. I use 
some commercial peat which I mix in with 
the top three inches of soil. A good grade 
of garden soil is all right to use in this 
mixture; some growers use one-third each. 
I pick new ground for my beds and use lesg 
than one-third peat. Water well and let it 
stand over night, if possible. This watering 
helps condition your ground and makes it 
much nicer to mark your rows. With a 
thin board or the back of an old knife make 
crack-like rows between the boards. inta 
this crevis place each seed ON EDGE like 
placing dimes in a row. Placing each seed 
about one inch apart in the row. 
You can have your rows three or four 
inches apart according to your space. Cover 
the seed by smoothing a little soil over theny 
with your hand. Water again so as to wet 
the seed. Keep the bed moist so as to get 
the seed started and make certain that the 
moisture is there but not soggy wet as that 
will cause the seed to rot. 
Here in Florida, I have taken note on 
the time for germination; from the day plant- 
ed, some will be peeping thrugh the soil in 
just two weeks and in a month, all were up. 
These plants require shade from. direct 
sun and I make my plantings near shade 
trees so the direct rays of the sun does not 
hit them. You can make cloth shade but 
have it about ten inches from touching the 
bed level so that air can pass over them, this 
is very important. 
After they are up and growing, they like 
the soil more on the moist side, rather than 
dry. It does require attention to get these 
plants started but they are so very beautiful 
and last so many years that they are well 
worth the trouble. 
Some growers pour a little sand in the 
crevices before placing in the seed, but I 
find the soil I get here has plenty of sand 
in it. 
GERMINATING TROLLIUS AND 
ACONITUM 9SEED. 
Both are not easy germinatory and Mrs. 
Irene Friedman of Burbank, California asks, 
for special directions. Possibly some our 
readers have had experience in them and wlk 
send in their remarks. 
It is possible that both would not be hurt 
by freezing; that is planted in the fall but 
we would think that Aconitum should be 
covered or held in a dark part of the room 
while germinating. The Trollius, being an 
early bloomer, should be started in the fall 
much as the Violas. We may be wrong here 
so why not someone with experience with 
them write? We would like to give Mrs. 
Friedman a better answer. 
LILIES FOR FLORIDA. 
Mrs. Howard L. Kline of Apopka, Florida: 
ask for a list of varieties and species of Lil- 
ies that will grow satisfactorily in Florida. 
We are not well posted and wonder if some 
of our readers can give their experiences? 
Lucky is the land that is tilled by the 
men who own it. James Oliver.
