LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



{Ready for delivery on the jst of November.) 

 We offer only The True Large Flowering German Variety which is 

 grea y superior to the Holland grown. The Lily of the Valley is one of the most 

 useful and greatly admired plants grown; the little modest bell-shaped flowers of purest 

 white, are highly prized for cutting purposes, and for flowering in pots in the winter 

 they are excellently well adapted, they are also forced in immense quantities by florists 

 but they are the most charming when grown in large patches, and in partially shaded 

 localities around the lawn, near the borders of streams, lakes, etc., being perfectly 

 hardy. The Single Crowns or ■ ' pips " should always be selected for forcing and pot 

 culture, while for open ground planting the clumps are the better. (See cut) Prices

The Ixia, is a beautiful little winter-flowering bulb, slender, Tgraceful 

 growing plant, with long loose spikes of bloom. The colors are rich, varied 

 and beautiful, the centre always differing in color from the other parts of 

 the flower, so that the blossoms expanding in the sun's rays, present a pic- 

 ture of gorgeous beauty. 



The descriptions refer to the flowers when open ; when closed, most of 

 the yellows and the whites have the outside of the petals red or purple; thus, 

 the more brilliant display is when the flowers are fully expanded, (See
