Its beautiful sprays of lovely pure white, 
bell-shaped flowers are always greatly ad- 
mired. It is perfectly hardy, does not object 
to shade, and will do well in any odd corner 
you happen to have, but will of course give 
finer flowers and more of them when given 
good, well-prepared ground, and partial 
shade. In house or conservatory a _half- 
dozen roots in a 4-inch pot, kept cool awhile 
and then given light and moisture, will soon 
produce an abundance of lovely, fragrant 
flowers. Strong flowering roots, 3 for 15 cts., 
12 for 50 cts.; 1 bundle, 25 roots, 75 cts.; 
100 roots for $2, delivered free in U. S. A. 
Note.—Lily-of-the-Valley is one of the most 
useful pure white flowers for winter forcing, 
and is grown in immense quantities in all the 
larger cities for the holiday trade. They 
last a long time when cut, and are particularly 
beautiful when colonized in large patches in 
partially shaded places about the lawn, and, 
being entirely hardy, will mostly take care of 
themselves and increase rapidly without much 
attention.

This is one of the grandest and most beau- 
tiful Lilies ever seen, and the best of all for 
winter flowering in pots; it grows easily and 
is sure to bloom. The flowers are pure snow- 
white, very large and fragrant, and borne in 
splendid clusters, six or eight at a time. Vast 
numbers of these splendid Lilies are grown 
for church and house decorations every year. 
Plant in a pot or box which is at least 6 inches 
deep and well drained; good, turfy soil with a 
little old, well-rotted manure is best; the 
bulb should be covered about 1 inch deep; 
firm the earth well around it, water thor- 
oughly and set away in a cool place three 
weeks or more till the roots begin to start, 
then bring to the light—the window of an 
ordinary living-room is about right. They 
require moderate heat, with plenty of sun- 
shine and water, and should bloom about 
three months from time of planting. We offer 
3 sizes. Ready in August.
