Lily-of -the- Valley 



One of the most universally known and admired 

 plants. The graceful spikes, with the dainty pure 

 white bells, are a delight to the eye. and their 

 delicate fragrance is exquisite. Plants succeed 

 almost anywhere, but prefer a partly shaded situa- 

 tion and rich soil. For house culture, plant rather 

 thickly in pots or boxes, scatter some moss or other 

 light material over the soil, which must not cover 

 the crown: water well and set away in a dark, 

 cold place where they will freeze, or bury pot 

 in ground for several days. When brought to heat 

 and light after a few weeks, the leaves and flowers 

 will soon appear. Ready for delivery in ]S ovember.

 cts. per dozen; $6.00 per 100, postpaid.

 of improvement .
