Excerpt from The Production of Lily Bulbs The production of lily bulbs in America is a comparatively new venture, although the garden culture of lilies is an old one. The industry has received a decided impetus in the last few years, due in the largest measure to the discovery that the production of the stocks presents no unusual difficulties; indeed, most of the species may be easily grown in the regions of the country adapted to their development. The information that has contributed most to the interest in the venture relates to the successful reproduction of the vast majority from seed, effective propagation from scales, and a large application of propagation by bulbils and stem bulblets. Few groups of plants present such diversity of reproductive adaptation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
