tECCOJl'M VERNHM. 



(Spring Snowflake.) 

 Pretty bulbous plants allied to the Snowdrop, but of much stronger and bolder habit, 

 growing in rich soil from 1 to 2 feet high, and producing freely beautiful large white flowers 

 distinctly tipped with green; excellent for cutting. When once planted they take care of 

 themselves, and should have a place in all hardy collections; can also be grown in pots. 

 25 cts. per doz. ; $1.50 per 100; $12.50 per 1000. 



LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



(Ready in November.) 



One of the most charming of spring- flowering plants, and can readily be flowered in the 

 house. rhe pips or crowns are received from Germany during November, and should be 

 planted soon after their receipt. The simplest method for indoor culture is to place a bundle 

 of 25 pips in a 7 or 8 inch pot, tilling it up with .sand, moss, prepared fibre or light soil, allowing 

 the points of the pips to be about an inch above [he surface. They should then be placed out 

 of doors and brought indoors as wanted, and put in a shaded place in a temperature of about 

 70 degrees, and when the spikes are .3 or 4 inches high they may be brought to where they 

 are to perfect their flowers. By having a number of pots and bringing in at intervals, a con- 

 tinuous display can be h.id throughout the winter and spring months. NVe recommend clumps 

 as most suitable for outdoor planting.
