Convallaria (Lily of the Valley) 



Majalis. This is often starved and neglected and relegated to 

 some poor, out-of-the-way corner; but thi,s popular and fragrant 

 subject, like most other plants, repays for being well treated, 

 and if the bed is given a liberal top-dressing of well-decayed 

 manure in fall or early spring it will show the eflect by increased 

 size, number and vigor of the flowers. The stock we ofTer is 

 strong dumps, especially suited for outdoor planting, 50 cts.

 uable as cut flowers. This new double and semi double form is 

 just as easy to manage and the extra petalage adds a further charm
