SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS, ROSES AND HOUSE PLANTS 



15 



Lily-of-the-VaUey 



One of the most universally known 

 and admired plants. The graceful spikes. 

 with the dainty, pure white bells, are a 

 delight to the eye, and their delicate fra-

 most anywhere but prefer a partly shad- 

 ed situation and rich soil. For house cul- 

 ture, plant rather tliickly in pots or box- 

 es, scatter some moss or other light ma- 

 terial over tlie soil, which must not cover 

 the crown; water well and set away in 

 a dark place. When brought to heat and 

 light after a few weeks, the leaves and 

 flowers will soon appear. Ready for de-

The Dingee Specia l Lawn Grass Seed 



The Dingee Lawn Grass Seed is especially recommended for sowing in September or 

 October. Where fall sowing is practiced a top dressing of manure is recommended to 

 protect the roots of the young grass during the winter. To renovate lawn, loosen the soil 

 on the bare spots with a steel rake, and, after sowing a liberal quantity of seed, roll or 

 rake again to cover the seed. For a new lawn use one quart to 300 square feet. 



By mail, 45 cts. per pound, postpaid. In bulk, by express, 40 cts. per pound, 25 pounds
