mmn Inly of tfye Valley. 



(Ready for Shipment Early in Nove?nber.) 



To make a complete success of forcing Lily of the Valley, it is absolutely 



necessary to have pips, that have been grown in a soil and climate congenial to 



their proper dovelopment ; there are many pips annually offered that are late 



flowering, and having few and small bells, are absolutely worthless for forcing. 



The past winter we had a complete trial of pips from 



English, Danish, French and Dutch, as well as from all 



German growers of repute, and we were pleased to see that 



Henderson's Large Flowering Hamburg Pips were by far 



the best. Producing robust long spikes of n, 13 and 15 



large bells each.

LILY OF THE VALLEY PIPS. 



(For Immediate Shipment)

 perature of 28°. We can only supply 

 these in case lots. 



Price, $22.00 per case in May, increasing 

 25c. per case every month thereafter. 

 NO TE. — We do not care to send these fur- 

 ther than 6 hours from N. Y. by express, as they slmuld be thawed out 

 by plunging in cold water — not from warm temperature in transit. 



FREESIA REFRACTA ALBA. 



(Ready for Shipment in July.) 

 We will have a large crop of extra fine bulbs to offer this season. 

 We now sell annually 1,000,000 of these bulbs to florists for forcing for 

 cut flowers, our bulbs being unusually fine. Freesias produce six to 

 eight flowers upon a stem. Are very handsome, possessing a peculiar 

 grace of form. As cut flowers, they are extremely valuable ; the un- 

 expanded flowers open in water, fill the air with a most delicate perfume, 

 and their endurance is really remarkable. They force very easily and 

 should be started in succession from the end of July. Flowers pure 

 white, with yellow blotch on lower petals. (See cut.)
