LILY OF THE VALLEY. 



One of the most charming of spring flowering plants, bearing slender stems set with tiny bells, which diffuse a delicious 

 odor. They are largely used for forcing in winter, and can be flowered in the house. 



To secure good results, the pips should be kept in a cold place until wanted for flowering. If they have been kept in a 

 frozen state they should be gradually thawed out before placing in heat. They should not be allowed to become dry, or the 

 labor spent will be in vain. If to be forced in greenhouses, the pips should be placed on the benches and covered with moss, 

 and kept in a steady temperature of 88 to 100 degrees. Water should be liberally supplied and the pips shaded with cloth 

 until the stems are 2 or 3 inches high, when the shading should be removed in order to develop the flowers. The pips we 

 offer are the best quality German, and have been grown in deep, sandy land. Ready for delivery in November. 



Selected Pips. For forcing. 25 cts. per doz. (by mail 30 cts.), Si. 75 per 100 (b> mail $2), S12 per 1,000. 



Strong Clumps. For outdoor planting. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz. 



Chapman, Snyder County, Pa., May 2,1895. 

 I wish to express in the name of the ladies our great admiration and gratification over the beautiful Hyacinths bought from you last fall, 

 which are now in their glory: some of the flower spikes are over a foot in length. Benno LrEBiG.
