LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



Its favorite spot in the garden is in some cool, shady 

 place, in deep, rich soil — not too heavy. The roots 

 should be set about six inches apart and about two 

 inches deep. For house culture put 6 to 12 crowns in 

 a pot and place in the dark until rooted. Set the 

 crowns an inch below the surface. 



Selected Large Flowering 

 Crowns. 



BEGONIAS— Tuberous Rooted. 



A charming class of Begonias, of great value for 

 planting out-doors in the herbaceous border or shady 

 nook in the lawn. No plants are easier grown. The 

 tubers planted out-doors in May will bloom in July, 

 and continue to produce an abundance of large, brilli- 

 ant colored flowers until frost cuts them down; or 

 they may be planted in the house in March or April 

 and transplanted to the open ground as soon as the 

 weather permits, and have them in bloom in June. 

 They also make handsome pot plants for the house. 



The flowers arc large and exceedingly showy, many 

 of them measuring more than four inches across.
