LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



The finest grade of Lily of the Valley in the world for early winter flower- 

 ing. They will bear twelve to sixteen large bells on strong stalks, with foliage 

 even when forced for extra early ; they are equally superior for later or suc- 

 cessional crops The pips average large, plump and regular, with extra long 

 roots. Read what our customers think of them. 



"The Christmas Valley / had from you were very fine- better than any I have 



handled in 18 years' experience, and I have kicked myself because I did not order more. 



Will want a large quantity next seaso?i ; can't compete tiow-a-days it?iless you- have 



something a little better than the other fellow— and the extra price received more than 



pays the difference in cost between No. t stock and ordinary, and they'e 



is a satisfaction outside of dollars and cents that goes a long way."

 of the Valley and you may book us for 30,000 pips for fall delivery."

 high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these plume-iike trusses,

 earlier and more prof use in bloom than Spircea Japonica. As a Florists' 

 market plant, a?id for forcing for cut flowers, it is unrivalled
