LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



(Ready in November.) 



This beautiful, dainty little flower needs do 

 introduction. All plant lovers have already made 

 its acquaintance. 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. Plants, 

 or pips as they are called, are especially prepared 

 for pot-culture. They should be potted in good, 

 rich soil, placing five or six of them in a four-inch 

 pot and covering them with about an inch of t'he 

 soil : set the pots away in some cool place in the 

 dark to get the pipe well rooted, when they may 

 be removed to the warmth of the greenhouse or 

 living room. Keep them well watered. In a few 

 weeks the flowers will shoot out. 



Fine Pips— Per doz., 25c, free by mail; per 100, 

 $1.75; or by mail, $2.00 per 100.
