PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS. 



LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



(Ready /jr delivery in November.) 



The Lily of the Valley is one of the most useful and greatly 

 admired plants grown; the modest bell-shaped flowers of purest 

 white, are highly prized for cutting purposes, and for flower ng in 

 pots in the winter they are exceedingly well adapted. Beauiful 

 and most interesting ornamental des ; gns for the parlor or conserva- 

 tory may be produced by planting the Lily crowns in Crocus pots 

 or in pyramidal pots made specially for this purpose, and pierced 

 with holes. _ They will last several weeks in beauty. By taking 

 them in at intervals a succession of diffe.ent designs may be kept 

 up all winter. They are also forced in immense quantities by 

 florists, but they are the most charming when grown in large 

 patches, in partially shaded localities around the lawn, near the 

 borders of streams, lakes, etc , being perfectly 

 hardy. (See cut.)
