LILIUM 
Lily. Liliaceae. Growing Lilies from seed 
has become very popular. If type of germ- 
ination is followed, they are easily grown, 
besides their hybridizing is of special int- 
erest and rewarding. We would like to hear 
from those growing species to any extent. 
(A) Sow seeds of these species, in March 
or April, out doors, or earlier indoors; germ- 
inate in 3-5 weeks; transplant to nursery 
row. Can also be treated as in (B). 
(B) Start in frame or greenhouse in early 
spring or out doors in the South; germinate 
in 3-6 weeks; carry seedlings over in frame 
or cool house the first winter, transplanting 
them out in the spring. 
(C) Plant out door April-June in a well- 
made seed bed; germinates in 2-5 months 
with no top growth showing the first season; 
transplant the second year.
