LILY 



OF THE 



VALLEY 





*^ 



Its beautiful sprays of lovely 

 pure white bell-shaped flowers are al- 

 ways gready admired. It is perfectly 

 hardy, does not object to shade and wi 

 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; they are entirely hardy and will increase 

 in number and beauty from year to year. 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. Price, strong flowering 

 roots by mail, postpaid, 5 cts. each; 6 for 25 cts.; 12 for 40 cts.; 25 

 roots, 1 bundle, 50 cts.; 100 roots, |1.75. 



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 without much attention.
