As a result of successful experiments conducted at the government
farm in Virginia the Easter lily has now become a wholly domestic
plant, grown from seeds instead of from imported bulbs. Furthermore
the home-grown lilies reaching full flower 15 months after planting
carry five to 15 blossoms to a stalk as compared with four to five for
the average bulb-grown plants. It is reported that good seed may be
procured by anyone by pollinating the flowers as now obtained.
